All students and educators, and schools and universities, are protected from attacks during armed conflict, including through prevention and response measures.
To protect education from attack through advocacy that leverages the strengths of our diverse membership.
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.
