In these pages, one can hear the strains of a conversation that is really a call to action. Hear a young social anthropologist translate the messages he believes young people in difficult situations worldwide are conveying if we would only pay attention. Listen to a development practitioner, Charles Nabongo, and a member of parliament, Aloisea Inyumba, describe the experience of implementing a national school campaign in Rwanda. Hear about the violent threats to schools and students in Afghanistan. Listen to a discussion of the tensions and intersections of human rights and economic growth, and learn about the work of partners for girls' education, empowerment, and gender equality. Most importantly, listen to the brave girls from the world's developing countries as they speak to us in words and pictures.

Welcome to Catalyst for Education and Gender Equality, a publication of UNICEF, where we will look to bridge gaps between development education research and experience, theory and practice. We hope in some small way to facilitate a lingua franca for education, gender equality and development that connects diverse constituencies and crosses disciplinary and experiential borders. A catalyst is a spark, and we seek to spark this kind of action-inspiring conversation every issue. We hope you will join in. (You can write to us at pubdoc@unicef.org) Because when lessons go unlearned and perspectives remain unshared, we are all the poorer. We're here, then, to steer these various streams of discourse back to their source: children, their lives and their futures.
