"*Teachers Play a Vital Role in Supporting Survivors of Gender-Based Violence* A recent round table discussion with teachers highlighted the crucial role they play in supporting survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). Teachers are often the first point of contact for students who have experienced GBV, and they can provide a safe and non-judgmental space for students to share their experiences. The discussion emphasized the importance of teachers: - Providing emotional support and validation - Connecting survivors with resources and services - Creating a safe and supportive learning environment - Promoting healthy relationships and consent practices - Receiving training and resources to better support survivors By recognizing the vital role teachers play in supporting survivors of GBV, we can work together to create a safe and supportive environment for all students. #GBVSupport #TeacherTraining #SafeLearningEnvironment" *Amb.Scholastica Ighorodje-Ekohwo Executive *Director for Shecoops* *Empowerment Initiative*
