#WeTheWomen: Invest in Education and Empower Women and Girls to Lead

So, let us not stop at the commemoration of International Women's Day. Instead, let us start now with a significant increase in financing such proven solutions. Education Cannot Wait urges public and private sector donors and high-net-worth individuals to urgently mobilize $600 million to reach our target of US$1.5 billion in funding.

With these new resources, we will reach 20 million crisis-affected children and adolescents, including 12 million girls, with inclusive and continued quality education. This urgently needed increase in funding will provide a significant leap forward for our collective efforts to build a more equal world between women and men – through education that overcomes generational discrimination and builds leadership for humanity in the 21st century.

Nuestra lucha por la educación es una lucha por los derechos de las mujeres

El personal docente refugiado y quienes trabajan en campos de refugiados soportan una responsabilidad aún más abrumadora. La voz de Aloyo Stella resonó con contundencia durante su intervención en el Foro de Alto Nivel "La educación no puede esperar": "Desearía que pudieran ponerse en mi lugar durante una hora. Así entenderían la realidad en la que vivimos. Ser una docente refugiada implica trabajar con 200 estudiantes en un aula, ayudar a los niños y niñas a desenvolverse en un lugar desconocido, con escaso material didáctico o apoyo, todo por un salario de 120 USD al mes, que no es suficiente para alimentar a nuestra familia y que ni siquiera se nos paga a tiempo”. Stella concluyó su intervención en el Foro con un llamado a la acción: "Yo estoy haciendo mi parte, hagan ustedes la suya".

Our fight for education is a fight for women’s rights

Refugee teachers and those working in refugee camps shoulder an even heavier burden. Aloyo Stella's voice echoed powerfully when she spoke at the Education Cannot Wait High Level Forum: “ I wish you could stand in my shoes for an hour. You would understand where I am coming from.” Being a refugee teacher means working with 200 students in your classroom, helping children navigate an unfamiliar place with little in the way of teaching materials or support, all for USD 120 a month that is not enough to feed your family and that is not even paid on time. Stella ended her intervention at the Forum with a call to action: “I am doing my part, do your part.”

Prioritising education

In the wake of the devastating floods of 2022 that wreaked havoc across Pakistan, the province of Balochistan found itself wrestling with the profound aftermath, especially in most affected districts of Jaffarabad, Naseerabad, Sohbatpur and Awaran. The floods not only caused extensive damage to infrastructure but also disrupted the continuity of education for countless children.

The UNICEF-supported Education Cannot Wait project, spearheaded by the International Rescue Committee and other partners, was at the forefront of addressing the educational needs of the affected communities, particularly children who faced barriers to attending schools due to various challenges brought forth by the floods.
