Thanks to all who joined yesterday’s joint UNGA side event on girls' access to education, moderated by WRC’s Julianne Deitch. The discussion powerfully highlighted how, given the complexities & challenges faced by girls in crisis affected settings, women & youth know best what solutions will work.

🚨 The termination of U.S. foreign assistance shows the precarious nature of the global humanitarian landscape. When funding is cut without warning, it’s not just programs that end — it’s protection, safety, and dignity that are lost.
