Supporting displaced children with access to education in Myanmar/Burma
During emergencies, such as the on-going conflict in Myanmar/Burma, children face particular risks. The project run by Plan International therefore aimed to strengthen child protection mechanisms within the community, as well as within schools. It supported capacity-building of teachers and camp management committees in the areas of child rights and child protection. The active participation of children and adolescents, through children and youth clubs, was encouraged. Awareness-raising on girls' right to education and life-skills education for girls aimed to address the root causes of drop-out of girls.
