I.INTRODUCTION

“Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong; it’s about changing the way
the world perceives that strength.” G.D.Anderson

In support with the national observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and
Children, the campaign theme for the period 2016-2021 is “VAW-free community starts with Me.” This year’s

against women and girls within various institutions like schools.
