In conflict-affected settings, children’s access to education is severely disrupted by attacks on schools and their military use, with girls and female teachers facing unique and heightened risks. Over the 2014-2018 period, the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) documented direct attacks on female students and teachers in at least 18 countries, including bombings, abductions, sexual violence, and forced “marriage,” often driven by ideological, religious, or military motives. These attacks have severe long-term consequences for girls, such as loss of education, early marriage, stigma from sexual violence, and socioeconomic disempowerment, exacerbating pre-existing gender inequalities. GCPEA’s study focuses on teh types and couses of abuse aginst female. Inequalities intensify during conflict, leaving women and girls particularly vulnerable. GCPEA conducted this study to better understand the impact of attacks on education for girls and women and to strengthen advocacy for strategies that protect them, prevent such attacks, and reduce their harmful consequences.
