🌎 Huge thank you to everyone who attended the end-of-year reception at the EiE Hub yesterday, held on the margins of the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review. 🤝 It was inspiring to see so many people come together at the end of a challenging year.

Instead of playing or learning, countless children caught in armed conflict are forced to watch their kindergartens, schools, and homes come under attack, losing everything familiar to them. No child deserves to grow up in such conditions, and no parent should ever have to witness it.

➡️ The military use of schools during conflict can put students, teachers and others in harm's way. 🌏 We are proud to have worked with @icrc.org on a new legal commentary on this pressing issue: eiehub.org/news/new-icr...
