contents We show a uniform spectral gap of stable commutator length for all compact hyperbolic $2$-orbifolds relative to the peripheral subgroups. Except for the case of a sphere with three cone points, we have an explicit uniform gap $1/36$. These estimates are needed in understanding stable commutator length in $3$-manifolds. Our methods use explicit quasimorphisms for the generic case, and use hyperbolic geometry (pleated surfaces) for the exceptional case of a sphere with three cone points.
