If you’re a girl affected by conflict or disaster, your life chances are likely to be among the worst in the world. You’re more likely to be married before the age of 18 than to finish school. You’ll be at greater risk of exploitation and early pregnancy. And there’s a two in three chance you won’t even start secondary school.

To try and protect them, many families keep girls at home to help with household chores, making it an uphill struggle for them to access their education.
