Description

This is a school sex education program for students. The aim is to reduce victimization by domestic violence and sexual abuse.
The program addresses issues of domestic violence, healthy and abusive relationships, legal rights, and access to care. The intervention consists of three sessions based on a curriculum applied by legal professionals in a school setting.

Impact evaluations

An impact evaluation found no statistically significant effects on perceptions of help, likelihood of seeking help, perpetration, victimization, and experiences of abusive or fearful encounters. However, there was a statistically significant increase in knowledge of dating violence among students [1].
