ABSTRACT
Much literature around the globe has discussed public control over female sexuality (Moller Okin 1999; Phillips 2007). This chapter reports on a longitudinal study undertaken with girls involved in a project addressing gender violence in schools in Ghana, Kenya and Mozambique. We explore and question the concepts of consent, coercion and choice in relation to girls, sex and schooling, and examine the role of the project in shifting discourses around gender, sex and sexual coercion.
