With the right support and investment, women and girls can change their own future and uplift entire communities. They can change the world.

Each year, millions of people—particularly women and children—are subject to violence and abuse, and struggle to feel safe in their homes and communities.

Millions of people, particularly women and children, die from preventable causes in countries affected by conflict and natural disasters.

During conflict and crisis, education protects children and sets them up for a better future. It provides a sense of hope and enables them to recover, learn and thrive.

Despite this great need, education has received less than three percent of all humanitarian aid in recent years.
