The implication is that Gender-based Violence hinders the protection of educational rights of girls in Hiran District. The study concluded that violence has always affected the child’s rights in several ways. The study recommended counseling parents on the proper ways of handling the families in order to reduce their ways of violence in the families, the alternative ways of punishments can therefore substitute the corporal punishments of abuse, this will lead to the abolition of the forms of abuse that are disastrous to the families. More so the government should enact and enforce restrictive measures since gender-based violence has been found as the main cause of physical harm in Hiran District. The government should strengthen education programs since these people with low level of education are more likely to engage into violence because of little knowledge on the outcomes. | |
