Good to meet with Yasmine Sherif, Executive Director of @educannotwait.bsky.social, today in Parliament.

Great to discuss the need for investment in education, & touch on the transformative power of education in conflict & climate emergency zones

We need international cooperation on this issue.

While there have been promising efforts to lend concrete support to and investment in women-led organizations (WLOs), @educannotwait.bsky.social highlights that funding cuts seriously threaten over half of WLOs. Empowering girls in and through #EiE must not be deprioritized.

Education in crisis funding is hard to track, and even harder to coordinate.
To #FundEducation more effectively, we need aligned data systems, shared standards, and cross-platform collaboration.
