Education is the only thing the refugees can take with themselves.
Access to edu.
Solutions:
- mental health and psychological services for the refugee programs;
- government, civil society and
Working to gender based violence;
To question gender stereotypes;
- funding; the education is the least funded in emergency situations. To provide scholarships for immigrants and asylum seekers.
Refugee children are behind on their learnings. Only 3%of the money for emergency situations will go to edu, this is crazy. We need to make sure that the investors should understand it. How can a child labour be limited so that they can go to a school? This is bcz of colonization. They need to decolonize the south Africa.
