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.

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.
