Burkina Faso: freeing speech to combat gender inequality
On International Children's Rights Day (20 November), Action Education reminds us that being informed and participating are key to guaranteeing children's rights. In Burkina Faso, a number of the young girls we support are faced with numerous difficulties as soon as they start menstruating. The workshop we co-organised enabled them to look back at the inequalities and discrimination they suffer, and to show that speaking openly about taboos guarantees them access to their sexual and reproductive rights.
Children's rights : Vanessa Martin on 8 billion neighbours - RFI
To mark International Children's Rights Day on 20 November, Emmanuelle Bastide gave the floor to Vanessa Martin, Head of Public Speaking and Advocacy at Action Education, on RFI's 8 milliards de voisins programme. On air, she stated that sub-Saharan Africa is one of the regions most affected in the world by attacks from non-state armed groups, targeting schools, children and educational staff. Faced with this security situation and these serious violations of children's rights, how can the resilience of the education system be strengthened? Discover the concrete example of the "Safe School" programme set up by UNICEF and Action Education in at-risk areas.
Children's rights : La Croix mentions Action Education on the situation in Burkina Faso
In its article "In Burkina Faso, the tragedy of displaced children who have dropped out of school", published to mark International Children's Rights Day on 20 November, the French daily La Croix describes the critical situation facing several NGOs working to protect children in Burkina Faso, including Action Education, Asmae-Association Soeur Emmanuelle, Planète Enfants & Développement, SOS Villages d'enfants, Save The Children and Plan International. These organisations can no longer count on French public development aid, which not only compromises their projects but also inflicts a double penalty on children who are already victims of insecurity.
Children's rights: far from being a reality for everyone
On this new International Children's Rights Day, the grim reality is that, after more than 34 years of existence, children's rights are still a long way from being applied. Action Education is sounding the alarm and calling on France to make children's rights, and in particular the right to education for all, a priority of its international cooperation policy.
Madagascar: inauguration of the Orange Village in Antsahafilo
On 26 September 2023, Action Education and its partner Orange inaugurated the new Orange Village in Antsahafilo, in the Analamanga region. This community of around 4,000 inhabitants now has high-quality infrastructure for access to water, health and education.
Jeunesse Academy talks about our actions in Burkina Faso
The editorial team at Jeunesse Academy, Burkina Faso's magazine on the training and development of African youth, met Narzoume Tchingue, Development Manager for Action Education's Burkina Faso-Mali-Niger Mission, to discuss our work in Burkina Faso. In her article "Action Education, for quality education for vulnerable populations", find out about all our missions in the country, which cover the following themes: health, nutrition, access to and quality of education, and organisational and socio-economic capacity-building for women.
CB News talks about our "Savoir lire" awareness campaign
In its article "Action Education puts us in the shoes of an illiterate", CB News - the leading newspaper for communication, marketing and the media - quotes the alarming figures in our press release and announces the launch of our "Savoir lire" campaign, available on posters and the web.
More than a billion people today cannot read or write: an unacceptable situation denounced by Action Education
The international NGO Action Education is sounding the alarm: more than 773 million people, two-thirds of them women, are illiterate, and 250 million children cannot read or write and are not in school.
Fundamental rights: young girls under threat
Rape, kidnapping, physical violence, forced marriages... these are just a few examples of the many deprivations and violations of children's rights to which young girls are subjected around the world. And their situation continues to worsen, particularly in crisis situations. On 11 October, International Girls' Rights Day, Action Education is sounding the alarm and reminding us of the urgent need to guarantee access to quality education for all. This year, the association is joining forces with Plan International and has co-signed a petition calling on governments to guarantee access to quality education for all.
Education, an essential weapon in the fight against climate change, is being neglected, according to the NGO Action Education
Natural disasters will claim around 150 million victims a year by 2030, an increase of 50% compared to 2018 (Source UN). The first victims of these crises are children, who are exposed to trauma and violations of their fundamental rights, including access to housing, safety, food and education. The international NGO Action Education is working to help the most vulnerable populations adapt to climate crises and to enable the youngest children to mitigate the effects of climate change, in particular through education for sustainable development.
