Safe housing for female teachers is also important, particularly when countries are struggling to recruit and retain teachers (World Bank, 1988, 1989). Furthermore, sanitary facilities may be located outside the main school compound. Students may therefore be at risk of bullying and sexual violence, which is especially a concern for female students. When constructing new sanitary facilities, it is important to engage students in the planning process and to conduct sex education courses to inform students about physical changes during puberty (INEE, 2009).
