All for Girls' Education ! is UNESCO's slogan for EFA Week 2003, celebrated from 6 to 13 April. It calls on governments to get the gender balance right. Learn more about girls' education and how close countries are to reaching the 2005 goal through the EFA Week 2003 website, just launched. http://www.unesco.org/education/efaweek --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Children in difficult circumstances ------------------------------------- More than 100 million of the world's children live in the street, threatened by hunger, violence, drugs, sexual exploitation and HIV/AIDS. The risks that they face are often over-shadowed by the precariousness of their situation and the necessity of survival. They suffer from exclusion and are frequently victims of discrimination. Because they are infected by HIV/AIDS or threatened by it, they are further marginalized. http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0012/001293/129349e.pdf FRANCAIS : http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0012/001293/129349f.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conflict Resolution in and out of School Best Practices on Non-Violent Conflict Resolution In & Out of School In the context of our activities concerning education for non-violence, UNESCO is planning to produce a collection of texts dealing with non-violence and conflict resolution in the formal and non-formal school environment.
