A world where all people can teach and learn in safety and free from fear.
We advocate for the protection of students, teachers, schools, and universities from attack.
Attacks on education occur in many countries affected by armed conflict, insecurity, and weak systems of human rights protections or political pluralism. Schools and universities should be safe havens where students and educators can work toward a better future. Instead, in at least 37 countries globally, there is a pattern of attacks on education by state security forces and non-state armed groups.
An inter-governmental political commitment to protect students, teachers, schools, and universities from the worst effects of armed conflict.
