It will train volunteers as paralegals, will train teachers how to create safer schools and run supportive after school rights & literacy/numeracy clubs. The main aim is to identify those girls most at risk of dropping out of school and to encourage those already out-of-school to re-enroll. Standard 6 students are a key target as this is when girls start to hit puberty.Links to legal & judicial structures are included throughout.
