Dates Active:
Begins: Sep 09, 2024
Ends: Sep 09, 2024

DESCRIPTION:

Children worldwide are being endangered by ongoing conflicts that blatantly disregard the fundamental rule of war: the protection of children. These protracted conflicts are damaging entire generations' futures, depriving children of the education they need to be valuable contributors to their societies and economies in the future.

The safeguarding of a child's right to education in conflict zones necessitates the protection of education itself. Education can be life-saving, providing a safe haven for children from abuse, exploitation, and recruitment by armed forces. It is a critical factor in breaking the cycle of crisis and reducing the chances of future conflicts.

The United Nations General Assembly unanimously agreed to establish a day to raise awareness of the millions of children living in conflict-ridden countries. The State of Qatar presented the resolution that proclaimed the day, with 62 countries co-sponsoring it.

The resolution asserts that governments have the primary responsibility to provide protection and ensure all learners, particularly those in vulnerable situations, have access to inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels. It also underscores the need for increased efforts and funding to establish safe and protective school environments during humanitarian crises.

UNESCO and UNICEF, in collaboration with partners within and outside the UN system, will facilitate the annual observance of the day. These UN entities have long been helping Member States strengthen their capacity to provide access to quality educational opportunities for all in times of crisis.
