Helping children get back to school in conflict-torn Burkina Faso

Girls constitute over half of the total number of children attending the classes supported by the EU-funded project in Burkina Faso run by Educo.

 

Girls are almost 2.5 times more likely to be out of primary school if they live in conflict-affected countries.

 

When not at school, girls are also more likely to be exposed to risks of sexual and gender-based violence, according to UNICEF.
