Abstract:

Gender-based violence is a cross-sectional problem that affects millions of people across the world, there are higher societal, economic, and health risks associated with sexual violence. Education is one of the most effective tools in the fight against Gender-based violence as it makes people aware of it. This study tries to establish the success of role of education on prevention of Gender-based violence. Randomized control trial study design was used to extrapolate findings related to the knowledge, attitude and behavior of respondents using a structured questionnaire. Findings indicate that the educational training module shows effect in the role of education on prevention of Gender-based violence in Nigeria youths at Kaduna orientation camp. However there remain a limited body of evidence on the effect of the educational training module on prevention of Gender-based violence. Commonly agreed upon standard or guidelines for evaluation of training module on prevention of Gender-based violence programming and publication of evaluations conducted using these guidelines could assist stakeholders to build and disseminate evidence base of effective prevention on Gender-based violence intervention programs and strategies. The use of training module on prevention of Gender-based violence efforts especially among young adolescents’ population must be given higher priority to justify continuation of revision of recommended Gender-based violence programs being implemented in diverse human setting, also improve awareness to stakeholders.
