Mitigating Threats to Girls' Education In Conflict-affected Contexts: Current Practice

This study identifies seven main threats to girls’ education in conflict contexts. The threats described do not arise in isolation. Multiple threats can affect girls simultaneously, forming complex barriers to safe, quality education and deepening girls’ vulnerabilities in conflict settings. This work contributes to the broader literature on gender equality in education, recognising that while in the short term many programmes and policies justifiably target girls, these efforts need to be carried out with a focus on changing gendered relations and norms, including by working with and for boys.
