In solidarity with girls
Putting gender at the forefront of the COVID-19 education response
Especially in times of crisis, gender equality must not be sidelined
Youth are not only the beneficiaries of transforming education, they are essential partners. They are the transformers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, youth-led networks and organisations are mobilising and working together to transform education to help every child get a quality education, no matter who she, he or they are. They have demands that must be heard. They are leading the change. Will you join the mission?
