“Keep Her Safe”

Data-driven advocacy for girls’ education in emergencies in Kenya.

Silent suffering: Kenyan girls missing out on education

Crises can exacerbate the hurdles girls face in education, including sexual and gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, and child marriage. In Kenya, girls from Turkana host communities and urban refugee girls in Eastleigh informal settlement, Nairobi, are disadvantaged at all stages of education and struggle to learn given the high levels of vulnerabilities.

Girls Education in Emergencies

In partnership with Equal Measures 2030 we are implementing the Global Affairs Canada-funded project “Data-Driven Advocacy for Girls Education in Emergencies (EiE)’’ which aims to improve learning outcomes for women and girls affected by crises, as well as lead to the collection of better sex and age disaggregated data on education in emergencies.
