UNGEI was launched 24 years ago by Kofi Annan when he was the Secretary-General of the United Nations. We remain committed to his vision for #GenderEquality in and through education, ensuring every child, and especially girls, has the opportunity to learn and thrive 💪

Of the 72 million crisis-affected children who are out of school, 53% are girls. In conflicts, education is not just a right—it's a lifeline. We can't stay silent when schools are closed or destroyed by war. On #WorldHumanitarianDay, let's stand together to protect education.

Empowering girls through education is one of the most powerful ways to #EndChildMarriage & create a brighter future for girls. When girls have access to quality education,they gain the skills and confidence to break barriers & transform their communities. #EducateGirls
