‘For some us the hardest part of school was not the learning, it was entering a classroom where we did not feel safe, seen or included’ - UN Youth Delegate from Finland speaking at the 59th Human Rights Council on Safety in Schools.

Girls from the Student Counselling Committee at a school in East Amman share advice on how to stop bullying. This school was full of positive energy!

Inspired by the Ministry of Education’s ‘Ma’an’ Campaign to end violence in schools. #safetolearn ⁦@UNICEFEducation⁩
