🌍 Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, thrive and shape her own future.

At the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, UAE Minister of Education H.E. Sarah Al Amiri reaffirmed the importance of ensuring every girl has access to at least 12 years of safe, inclusive and quality education.

The high-level event, co-hosted by the UAE and the UK, was moderated by Ambassador David Fernandez-Puyana, Permanent Observer of the University for Peace to the UN in Geneva.

🤝 Advancing girls' right to education is essential to equality, human rights and sustainable peace. Leaving no girl behind requires turning global commitments into meaningful action.
