Unlocking the gender transformative power of education
We are a global partnership dedicated to advancing gender equality in and through education
Putting gender equality at the heart of education
Through evidence building, coordinated advocacy and collective action the UNGEI partnership works to close the gender gap in education and unlock its transformative power so that every girl can go to school, learn and succeed.
UNGEI's 2024 Impact
In 2024, UNGEI witnessed the power of education to drive change and spark hope in communities worldwide. Together with young feminists, educators, and global leaders, we tackled systemic barriers, championed gender equality, and reimagined education as a space where every child can thrive.
Collaboration fueled our efforts as we built new partnerships, expanded our reach, and inspired collective action for a more just and equal future. Thank you for walking this journey with us—your support makes this transformative work possible. Dive into our annual report to celebrate the milestones we achieved together!
Open Letter to the World Ministers
Building on the white paper ‘Prevention of Sexual Violence in Education Settings’, UNGEI launched an open letter calling for an end to sexual violence in education. Written and endorsed by civil society organizations, young activists, academia, governments, and multilateral organizations, the letter served as a unified call to action addressed to the First Ministerial Conference to End Violence Against Children in Bogota, Colombia, in November 2024. As of December 2024, it has garnered over 200 signatures from over 100 organizations.
