“I want to see schools where mental health issues are looked at just as any other physical challenges. And there will no longer be barriers, stigma or discrimination to stop us.”
Their experiences are unique but they reflect the global reality that hundreds of millions of young people experience violence in and around school every year. Act now to transform education and make it safe to learn. Join the Safe to Learn Call to Action.
