In Liberia, only 17 percent of children complete grade 9, and 1 in 3 children never attend school at all.

In a new report, HRW documents that mandatory fees—despite a legal guarantee of free and compulsory education for grades 1 to 9—place a heavy financial burden on families and violate children’s right to education.

A new @GEMReport, Namati, and @GrassrootsJN paper explores the links between education and justice.

How can education help people understand and defend their rights? And how do discrimination and weak justice systems keep millions out of school?

The number of out-of-school children has risen for 7 years in a row, reaching 273 million. A proposed free education treaty could push countries to act. My new dispatch:

173 countries agree via the Child Soldiers Treaty that children should not be conscripted/used in wars. Good progress but more work to do.

Here's why the future #CrimesAgainstHumanity Treaty should criminalize child recruitment and use: https://t.co/wFDuxwdJjt #CAHTreatyNow

Los gobiernos reunidos en la ONU para #CSW70 deben comprometerse a fortalecer los sistemas de justicia para las niñas que sufren violencia, fortalecer los esfuerzos de prevención y comprometer los fondos necesarios para cumplir estas promesas: https://t.co/lYGrvsiktu

[Katherine La Puente @katslap]

Policymakers meeting at the UN for #CSW70 should ensure that girls facing violence are able to access justice. They should pledge to strengthen justice systems, reinforce prevention efforts, and commit the funds to deliver on these promises. Op-ed here: https://t.co/gkYoiDoOdA

Children near Ethiopia's largest gold mine suffer chronic health conditions, women have miscarriages & stillbirths.

In response, the UN child rights body just urged Ethiopia to tackle the mine's pollution. The govt should do this, promptly!

Mineral extraction should not happen at the cost of people and planet.

Governments meeting at the UN Environment Assembly this week should support Colombia’s initiative for a binding minerals treaty. #UNEA7

La @FIFAcom debería pedir a las autoridades estadounidenses que no utilicen los eventos del Mundial para aplicar la ley de inmigración, incluso a través de los acuerdos 287(g). 🧵https://t.co/0Gus1Ngj6q

El impacto de las detenciones y redadas en las comunidades donde se celebrarán la Copa Mundial ha sido devastador. En Nueva Jersey, la gente tiene miedo de salir, las familias han perdido a sus proveedores y los negocios están sufriendo, según Estamos Unidos, un grupo en NJ.

Las autoridades de inmigración han aumentado drásticamente el # de arrestos desde el comienzo de la administración Trump. Entre el 20 de enero y el 15 de octubre, agentes de ICE detuvieron al menos a 92,392 personas en las ciudades donde se llevará a cabo la Copa Mundial.

.@FIFAcom should call on US authorities not to target World Cup events for immigration enforcement, including through 287(g) arrangements.
