GAGE’s research on age- and gender-based violence explores the many forms of violence
that adolescents experience, at home, at school and in the community. These range from
sexual and intimate partner violence, to corporal punishment from caregivers and
teachers, to ‘eve-teasing’ and harassment in their community.
GAGE pays careful attention to differences in these experiences, whether between girls
and boys, host and refugee communities, adolescents with and without disabilities, and
married and unmarried adolescents. GAGE is assessing which interventions work best to
reduce adolescents’ exposure to all forms of violence.
