Editorial Note: Journal on Education in Emergencies Volume 8, Number 2
In this editorial note, lead editors Carine Allaf, Julia Dicum, and Ruth Naylor reflect on the conceptual debates they encountered in the process of curating this JEiE Special Issue on Gender in Education in Emergencies. Highlighting the COVID-19 pandemic and the persistent gaps in enrollment and learning between boys and girls, the editors consider what it means to be in an “emergency” context. They frame the contributions each contributing author has made to creating evidence-based systems of accountability and sex-disaggregated education data, goals set in response to the commitments G7 leaders made in the 2018 Charlevoix Declaration.
