The ANULA SCHOOL-SAFE framework integrates equity and safety interventions in schools, suggesting a new approach to prevent violence against women and girls.
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a global health issue with significant physical, psychological, and social consequences. Schools, as universal knowledge distribution institutions, hold unique potential for prevention yet remain underutilized. This paper introduces the ANULA SCHOOL-SAFE framework, a four-pillar model (Safeguard, Act, Foster, Empower) designed to embed equity, safety, and resilience within school systems across diverse cultural and resource contexts. The ANULA project integrates safeguarding measures, spiral curricula, teacher training, family and faith engagement, inclusion strategies, digital safety, and survivor support into a comprehensive prevention approach. By co-producing interventions with communities and aligning with global strategies the framework positions education systems as transformative levers for generational change. The ANULA SCHOOL-SAFE framework offers policymakers and educators a practical, scalable roadmap to prevent VAWG and foster safer, more equitable school environments worldwide.
