With schools reopening across Africa after the COVID-19 related closures, the African Union International Centre for Girls’ and Women’s Education in Africa (AU/CIEFFA) launched #AfricaEducatesHer, a campaign to bring awareness to the issues hindering girls and women from accessing education during the COVID-19 pandemic and a rallying call to take positive action now to guarantee girls returning to school as they gradually reopen.
