the word

11 million girls might not return to school this year due to COVID-19’s
unprecedented education disruption. This alarming number not only threatens
decades of progress made towards gender equality, but also puts girls
worldwide at risk of adolescent pregnancy, forced marriage, and violence.
Help us make their voices heard.

campaign calls to ensure that every girl is able to learn while schools are
closed and return to the classroom when schools safely reopen. The campaign
also speaks out for the 130 million girls who were already out of school
before the pandemic and we need your support to get stories and messages
about this vital issue out to local communities.

As part of the campaign, the Community radio toolkit will support you in
creating exciting and memorable content for community radio programmes
wherever you are. The toolkit contains the messages and facts from the
global campaign and we count on you to consider how to make this campaign
most relevant to your audiences - drawing on local data and voices from
your communities. The toolkit suggests several types of shows that
community radio stations can create. If you want to include specific facts
and statistics about your country, area or community, please work with
organizations in your local network that can help.

The community radio toolkit is current available in English, French, and
Spanish. More language versions are forthcoming.

We hope that we can count on you to make sure that [#LearningNeverStops](
