School Violence Context in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Data on school violence has been scattered and difficult to access, especially at the country level. This data hub and interactive map brings together statistics from 92 low- and middle-income countries on bullying, corporal punishment, sexual violence, and more. We hope this tool motivates further data collection efforts and helps drive concrete action to end violence against children in and around schools.

This interactive map shows country-level information on school-related violence for 92 low- and middle-income countries: 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 25 in Asia, 10 in the Middle East and North Africa and 22 in Latin America and the Caribbean.

For each of these countries, users can download a factsheet that provides information on corporal punishment bans, statistics on the prevalence of bullying, corporal punishment and sexual violence, as well as the key data gaps that exist.

We also provide country comparisons (where this is possible, given the survey data available).

Hover over a country or type it in the search bar to access its factsheet.
