COVID-19 threatens to reverse hard-earned gains in girls’ education. Even before the pandemic, millions were out of school globally. Now, more will never return.
We must protect every girl's right to learn & break down the barriers preventing them from choosing their own futures. https://t.co/sxZnNboPdP

Our hearts are with children and families who have been impacted, especially those who lost their loved ones.

School closures can have devastating effects, especially for girls who are more likely to drop out and never return.
 
The chance to learn can change a child’s life and reduce the risk of child labour, early marriage, violence and abuse. Reopening schools is critical. https://t.co/87ry43e89e
