This Global Thematic Review on Education examines the under-researched relationship between education and institutional care. It uses a rights-based lens rooted in the principle that all fundamental rights are universal, inalienable, interdependent and indivisible. Specifically, it is based on the premise that children’s fundamental rights to both education and family life should and can coexist, but that that indivisibility is currently, at times, compromised. 

The Alliance calls for urgent action and investment in three critical areas in 2024: 1) Invest in the Child Protection Workforce — it is the key asset to protect children in crises, 2) Prioritise preventing harm while continuing the response to urgent needs, and 3) Join us - Every actor across the humanitarian system has a role to play in protecting children.

L'Alliance appelle à une action urgente et à des investissements dans trois domaines critiques en 2024 : 1) Investir dans le personnel de protection de l'enfance - c'est le principal atout pour protéger les enfants dans les crises, 2) Donner la priorité à la prévention des dommages tout en continuant à répondre aux besoins urgents, et 3) Nous rejoindre - Chaque acteur du système humanitaire a un rôle à jouer dans la protection des enfants.
