UNICEF: Girls Education Movement helps girls attend school in Uganda
KYENJOJO DISTRICT, Uganda, 14 April 2010 Peace Margaret Atwooki, 14, is back in school after a four-year absence.
Peace Margaret is an orphan, a not uncommon fate in Uganda, where many children have lost their parents to AIDS and other diseases. She dropped out of school after losing her parents to earn money as a housegirl. But a UNICEF-supported club which a friend recommended to Peace Margaret encouraged her to return to the classroom.
I realized that my parents are not there, she said. So I say, let me go and study and maybe in the future become an important person, not a housegirl.
Peace Margaret joined a local club that is part of the Girls' Education Movement or GEM which was started in Uganda in 2001 with UNICEF support. GEM has active chapters across sub-Saharan Africa, all with the same goal: to ensure that children like Peace Margaret have support to go to, and stay in, school.

![MAZAR-E-SHARIF, Afghanistan, 20 April 2010 In this video, UNICEF's Sarah Crowe reports on UNICEF's efforts to help protect Afghan girls from violence and early marriage.
Says UNICEF Child Protection Officer Farid Dastgeer, We also need to provide opportunities for girls when they graduate, so that they can earn as much as a boy earns in the community.
But Mr. Dastgeer cautions: Peace is the key to any success in any area, and especially in child protection, so if there is war, there is limitation of access to the rural areas [and] there is little chance we get to know the real problems of children from those areas. We need peace so that the community comes forward with their problems, and then UNICEF, along with partners, addresses those problems.
Achieving peace wont be a walk in the park, but there are places where children have filled schools and classrooms, where families can walk around freely, where childhood is not interrupted. There is real momentum towards progress for girls and boys in parts of Afghanistan.
