[INT. CLASSROOM - DAY]
A group of young children are sitting in a circle on the floor.
TEACHER
> Okay, everyone, today we're going to talk about something important. It's called gender-based violence, or GBV.
CHILD 1
> What's gender-based violence?
TEACHER
> It means hurting someone based on their gender. For example, if a boy hits a girl just because she's a girl, that's GBV.
CHILD 2
> But why would anyone hit someone just because of their gender?
TEACHER
> Sometimes people think that one gender is better than the other, and that it's okay to hurt people who are different. But that's not true. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
