In a statement issued to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Yasmine Sherif, Executive Director of Education Cannot Wait, called for leaders everywhere to take firm, concrete action to put all the human rights of girls and women – especially their right to twelve years of safe, quality education – at the forefront of the international agenda.
“It is time to be loud and clear that no woman or girl can be subjected to any violation of their dignity, rights, freedoms and their person.”
