Gender Based Violence Workshop "If all women had secondary education, 41% of
under-5 death could be saved in sub-Saharan Africa" A two day workshop funded by the Department for International Development and facilitated by Save the Children Fund
was held in Dar es Salaam in June 2011 bringing together civil society organizations, international NGOs, and ministry representatives.
The workshop identified the issues that girls face in relation to accessing and staying in school with a focus on Gender Based
Violence. The participants mapped out what organisations and the Government of Tanzania are doing in regard to this; looked
at successes, challenges and potential for replicability and scale up. The Sega School Headmistress and School Counselor attended this workshop and talked about how the
Sega Girls School takes a 'Whole school approach' to this issue. In the review of the workshop, which can be seen on the link
below, Sega Girls School was identified as a school with 'a lot of the components that we identified in the workshop
as missing from schools in Tanzania and could be used as a model to draw good practice from.' (see p 13)
