    Submission to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women Review of Niger 81St Pre-Session June 2021

    Human Rights Watch Submission to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women Review of Niger 81st Pre-Session June 2021 We write in advance of the 81st pre-session of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and its adoption of a list of issues prior to reporting regarding Niger’s compliance with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. This submission includes information on barriers to the right to primary and secondary education in Niger and the country’s efforts to protect education from attack during armed conflict. Barriers to the Right to Primary and Secondary Education (Article 10 and 16) Pregnant Pupils Niger has one of the highest rates of adolescent pregnancy, according to UNICEF data analyzed by Human Rights Watch.1 In Niger, 180 per 1000 women ages 15-19 gave birth.2 Only 42 percent of girls are enrolled in basic education, compared with 58 percent of boys, according to the Nigerien government.3 Many girls’ education suffers as a result of early marriage and pregnancy.4 Niger is among 24 countries that lack a policy or law to protect pregnant girls’ right to education, based on research by Human Rights Watch on pregnant pupils’ and adolescent parents’ rights to primary and secondary education in all African Union member countries.5 1 UNICEF, “Unicef Data Warehouse,” June 9, 2021, https://data.unicef.org/resources/data_explorer/unicef_f/?ag=UNICEF&df=GLOBAL_DATAFLOW&ver=1.0&dq=UNICEF_SSA+KEN+ COD+CAF+NGA+NER+MOZ+ZAF+CMR+MWI+UGA+TZA.MNCH_BIRTH18..&startPeriod=2009&endPeriod=2021 (accessed June 9, 2021).

    Impact of COVID-19 on Children's Education in Africa Submission

    Impact of Covid-19 on Children’s Education in Africa Submission to The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child 35th Ordinary Session 31 August – 4 September 2020 Human Rights Watch Observer status N⁰. 025/2017 Human Rights Watch respectfully submits this written presentation to contribute testimony from children to the discussion on the impact of Covid-19 on children at the 35th Ordinary Session of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Between April and August 2020, Human Rights Watch conducted 57 remote interviews with students, parents, teachers, and education officials across Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zambia to learn about the effects of the pandemic on children’s education. Our research shows that school closures caused by the pandemic exacerbated previously existing inequalities, and that children who were already most at risk of being excluded from a quality education have been most affected. Children Receiving No Education Many children received no education after schools closed across the continent in March 2020.1 “My child is no longer learning, she is only waiting for the reopening to continue with her studies,” said a mother of a 9-year-old girl in eastern Congo.2 A mother of two preschool-aged children in North Kivu, Congo, said, “It does not make me happy that my children are no longer going to school. Years don’t wait for them. They have already lost a lot... What will become

    Central Sahel Advocacy Brief

    Central Sahel Advocacy Brief January 2020 UNICEF January 2020 Central Sahel Advocacy Brief A Children under attack The surge in armed violence across Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger is having a devastating impact on children’s survival, education, protection and development. The Sahel, a region of immense potential, has long been one of the most vulnerable regions in Africa, home to some countries with the lowest development indicators globally. © UNICEF/Juan Haro Cover image: © UNICEF/Vincent Tremeau The sharp increase in armed attacks on communities, schools, health centers and other public institutions and infrastructures is at unprecedented levels. Violence is disrupting livelihoods and access to social services including education and health care. Insecurity is worsening chronic vulnerabilities including high levels of malnutrition, poor access to clean water and sanitation facilities. As of November 2019, 1.2 million people are displaced, of whom more than half are children.1 This represents a two-fold increase in people displaced by insecurity and armed conflict in the Central Sahel countries in the past 12 months, and a five-fold increase in Burkina Faso alone.* Reaching those in need is increasingly challenging. During the past year, the rise in insecurity, violence and military operations has hindered access by humanitarian actors to conflict-affected populations. The United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel (UNISS) continues to spur inter-agency cooperation. UNISS serves as the regional platform to galvanize multi-country and cross-border efforts to link development, humanitarian and peace programming (triple nexus). Partners are invited to engage with the UNISS platform to scale-up action for resilience, governance and security.

ISBN: 1-888393-34-3 Photo:## SAVE CJ ClarkeTHE CHILDREN / Save the Children INTRODUCTION The Many Faces of Exclusion Poverty, conflict and discrimination against girls are putting more than 1.2 billion children – over half of children worldwide – at risk for an early end to their childhood. Many of these at-risk children live in countries facing two or three of these grave threats at the same time. In fact, 153 million children are at extreme risk of missing out on childhood because they live in countries characterized by all three threats.1 In commemoration of International Children’s Day, Save the Children releases its second annual End of Childhood Index, taking a hard look at the events that rob children of their childhoods and prevent them from reaching their full potential. WHO ARE THE 1.2 BILLION Compared to last year, the index finds the overall situation CHILDREN AT RISK? for children appears more favorable in 95 of 175 countries.

    Strengthening Resilience

    International Review of the Red Cross (2017), 99 (2), 797–820. The missing doi:10.1017/S1816383118000553 Strengthening resilience: The ICRC’s community-based approach to ensuring the protection of education Geoff Loane and Ricardo Fal-Dutra Santos Geoff Loane is currently Head of Education at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). He has spent more than thirty years in a variety of operational positions in the field and at ICRC headquarters. Ricardo Fal-Dutra Santos is a Protection Delegate in the Pretoria Regional Delegation. He was formerly an Associate in the Protection of the Civilian Population Unit of the ICRC, where he worked on child protection issues, including children’s access to education. Abstract Education has received increased attention within the humanitarian sector. In conflict-affected contexts, access to education may be hampered by attacks against and the military use of educational facilities as well as attacks and threats of attacks against students, teachers and other education-related persons. Affected populations may also find themselves unable to access education, for example due to displacement. This article looks into the different sets of humanitarian responses aimed at (1) ensuring the protection of educational facilities and related persons, mostly through advocacy efforts centred on weapons bearers, and (2) (re-)establishing education services where they are not present or are no longer functioning, mostly through programmes directed at affected populations. It then argues that, in contrast with © icrc 2018 797 G. Loane and R. Fal-Dutra Santos dominant practices, the protection of education can also be ensured through programmatic responses with meaningful participation of affected communities, and examines the example of the Safer Schools programme in Ukraine.
