Access to education is a human right, for refugees and everyone. Ensuring enrolment in education is where it begins, and making sure that access continues at every level is how we reach a brighter future for us all. Learn more in this year's Education Report: unh.cr/z8BGwE

🟣Psychological abuse is often invisible, but its impact is not. 👉With our #16Days16Voices campaign we are cutting through the myths that silence survivors with a #VoiceOfClarity. Clarity saves lives, and everyone deserves to be heard, believed and supported.

A quiet moment after the rain, when nature pauses and takes a breath. #Skarðsfjörður #Iceland 🇮🇸 #landscapephotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #ThePhotoHour #StormHour #EastCoastKin #Scape 📷 #BlueSkyArtShow #Smooth
This photograph was taken overlooking Skardsfjörður in Iceland, shortly after the rain had passed. The scene is calm and serene, almost dreamlike. The water is glassy and smooth, reflecting the overcast sky like a delicate mirror. The clouds above are thick and layered, but soft, with streaks of gentle yellow breaking through - a quiet hint of evening light.

Scattered dark sandbanks stretch across the mid-ground, lying still and flat like brushstrokes on the surface of a painting. There’s a faint shimmer in the water close to the foreground, adding subtle texture without disturbing the overall softness. The atmosphere is hushed, cool, and expansive - a moment of stillness captured just after nature exhaled.

I am worried about Myanmar, especially Mandalay, after a 7.7 earthquake today.A state of emergency has been declared in Bangkok with people trapped after a skyscraper under construction collapsed.Myanmar is incredibly vulnerable amid severe internal conflict.I hope the major parties offer help.
