Adjorlolo emphasized the significance of addressing gender-based violence in educational institutions while speaking at a school gathering during the global campaign, which runs from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day).

“Every student must feel safe, respected, and protected in our schools, which must be havens of learning”, Adjorlolo remarked. He urged other educators to take proactive steps and emphasized the need for comprehensive solutions to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.

Awareness campaigns, student seminars, and conversations centered on advancing gender equality, respect for one another, and fostering a culture of zero tolerance for violence were all part of the school’s celebration of the 16 Days of Activism.

Assin North Senior High Technical School is leading the way in addressing gender-based violence and establishing safer learning environments for all students in the region by drawing attention to this pressing issue.
