🎒 Today, over 700,000 students in #Gaza should be starting the new school year. Instead of hopeful anticipation during this #BackToSchool season, the right to education is once again denied for Gaza's children. Many may never return to school.

Refugee and internally displaced children are among the most vulnerable populations in crises. But education protects them from violence and exploitation. On this #WorldRefugeeDay, we advocate for refugee and IDP children fleeing violence and persecution to fulfill their right to education.

At #ECOSOC, Voices Amplified highlights violence as a systemic barrier to learning, stating that #GBV is not adjacent to education, but central to it. In this moment of global instability, addressing GBV in #EiE so girls learn safely today, yields women who will lead tomorrow.
