Learn Without Fear: the global campaign to end violence in school

Plan’s international campaign “Learn without Fear” envisions a world where children can go to school in safety and expect a quality learning experience without fear of threats of violence. The campaign aims to put an end to violence against children in all schools. It is a truly global in scale campaign that places special focus on the 48 developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America in which Plan works.

Learn Without Fear targets 3 of the most common and damaging forms of violence in schools:

• sexual violence
• bullying
• corporal punishment

The main elements of campaign include:

• Persuading governments to outlaw all forms of violence against children in school, and to enforce those laws.
• Working with school leaders and teachers to create violence-free schools and promote alternative discipline methods to corporal punishment.
• Creating a global momentum for change, including increased resources from international donors and governments to tackle violence in schools in developing countries.

 Join Plan’s international campaign and help to influence governments, teachers, parents and others to prevent violence and protect children at schools.
