Four in 10 girls are frozen out of education worldwide 🧊 Every day they are facing barriers to accessing their right to an education. From conflict to poverty, girls are missing out on the opportunities an education brings. To mark #DayOfTheGirl we highlighted the fragility of girls' education. These ice sculptures represent the 6 in 10 girls who do finish school. They are based on girls from Gaza, Sudan and Afghanistan, some of the toughest places for girls to access education. The empty desks contained absence notes to teachers, explaining what had forced the other 40% from their seats. Reasons included bombs destroying their home, having to flee from fighting and forced marriage. Girls deserve better. Find out more and get involved: https://bit.ly/3Y5Rrqs

1,000 days out of school = 3 billion learning hours lost. “For 1.5 million girls, this systematic exclusion is not only a blatant violation of their right to education, but also results in dwindling opportunities and deteriorating mental health. Education doesn’t just provide opportunities. It protects girls from early marriage, malnutrition and other health problems, and bolsters their resilience to disasters like the floods, drought, and earthquakes that frequently plague Afghanistan. As we mark this grim milestone, I urge the de facto authorities to allow all children to resume learning immediately. And I urge the international community to remain engaged and support these girls who need us more than ever.” - Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director. UNICEF and partners in Afghanistan are keeping 2.7 million children in primary education, running community-based education classes for 600,000 children - two-thirds of them girls - and training teachers. #ForEveryChild, education.

Worldwide, 1 in 5 children and young people are out of school in countries affected by war. In Sudan alone, there are 19 million children out of school due to the armed conflict. The 625,000 schoolchildren in the Gaza Strip have been been out of school with no return date in sight for over 3 months now. Education and the right to work are the most powerful tools in overcoming extreme poverty. Education is a bridge that connects dreams to reality. In conflict zones, this bridge is often broken, leaving children stranded on the other side of their aspirations. On this International Day of Education, let us unite in recognizing the right to education for every child, even in the midst of conflict. 🕊️🧡 #EducationDay

More than 2.5 million Afghan girls are currently out of school due to restrictive policies. This devastating statistic represents not just a loss of education, but the loss of opportunity, growth, and the future. The Taliban’s ban on girls’ education since 2021 has crushed the dreams of millions in Afghanistan. Let's develop a mission to help Afghan students, especially girls, regain hope for the future. #letafghangirlslearn #educationinafghanistan #afghanistan #equaleducation

This statement by Yasmine Sherif, Executive Director of Education Cannot Wait (ECW), emphasizes the urgent need for global leaders to prioritize and support the education and well-being of children in Haiti. The use of phrases like “must not turn their backs” conveys a sense of moral obligation and urgency, calling for immediate action from the international community. The inclusion of UNICEF and Education Cannot Wait as key partners underscores the collective effort required to address this issue. This aligns with the mission of both organizations, which focus on providing educational opportunities in emergency and crisis situations. The reference to a link for further information suggests an ongoing or developing initiative that seeks broader public awareness and engagement. By encouraging the audience to learn more, it invites a call to action for those who want to support or contribute to the cause. In relation to **Orphan Kids in Bukavu (ORKID)**, the work being done in Haiti mirrors some of the challenges faced by organizations like ORKID, which also work to support vulnerable children—especially orphans and those with disabilities. This global effort highlights the broader importance of ensuring children in marginalized and crisis-affected regions have access to education, health care, and support. ORKID could potentially explore partnerships or collaborative opportunities with organizations like UNICEF and ECW, as their missions align in terms of providing care and education to vulnerable populations. The statement serves as a reminder that localized efforts, such as those of ORKID in the Democratic Republic of Congo, are part of a larger, global movement to protect and nurture children through education and humanitarian aid. https://lnkd.in/d2tw-fkX

Educational life was wonderful for girls in Sudan. They were diligent and persistent girls who did not neglect their academic achievements or the practice of their hobbies within the school spaces. They were all hopeful for a bright future, but with the bullets of the devastation of April 15, we returned to zero. Girls in Sudan resisted in order to survive. And only to get food and drink near their families, and between the journey of survival and treacherous bullets, they destroyed the educational journey of future generations for a year in Sudan. Girls and boys face an unknown educational future. How will these young people be compensated for the loss of their companions? When will life return to its normal state? These young people are the ones who will draw the history of Sudan by being witnesses to the events of the April War, and this history that was fortunately formulated by them cannot be falsified. We still believe in a bright tomorrow for Sudan This is a portrait of the lives of young women in landlocked countries, full of resistance and hope. We will know their future later #UN-OHRLLS #LockedOut #LLDC
