EiE Intervention #3: Girls' Education
Girls' education consists of programs and activities that protect and empower girls and young women. As previously stated, children are the most vulnerable group in any conflict situation. Within the children group are girls, who are even more vulnerable due to their gender identity. In regard to temporary learning spaces/shelter, UNICEF strongly suggests that the site is well monitored and that children don't have to walk a long distance to reach the facility; this is particularly important for girls because they tend to be more vulnerable to assault and rape, especially in unstable situations.
In the context of this conflict, girls' education is effective. It's extremely important to prioritize those that face the most danger; in this case, those people are girls. If girls are protected, educated, and empowered, then it's possible for other groups to go through the same process. Prioritizing girls is prioritizing entire communities.
