Abstract: The theme of school related gender-based violence (SRGBV) vis -a -vis student services at universities have been generally neglected in terms of implementation research-based evidence. However, the looming crisis against the higher learning institutions continual growth and a global wave of multiculturalism has heightened the need for urgent action to create safe learning havens at universities. This article traces the path of research recommendations over the years to argue redeveloping and re-focusing university student counselling services to meet these academic, social or cultural level and gendered demands.
