Education Gender Policy (2007) is aimed at prevention and response to school related gender based violence (SRGBV). It recommends mainstreaming of policies that address GBV at all education levels; establishing modalities for dealing with SGBV including harassment; developing of a framework for co-ordination of stakeholders involved in efforts of providing a safe learning environment; and developing and implementing clear anti-sexual harassment and anti-gender based violence policies at all levels in the Ministry of Education and all educational institutions. In line with this policy, the Teachers’ Service Commission has been working with teachers as champions (Beacon teachers) on prevention of SRGBV, in various counties including Mombasa, Nairobi, Kisumu, Kwale, Kilifi, Kajiado, Machakos, Meru, Nakuru, and Baringo.
