Conclusion
Gender-responsive education in an emergency is essential if we are to achieve the right of Education for All.
Understanding the principles, framework and tools for mainstreaming gender into education in emergencies is the first step.
Promoting advocacy, awareness-raising, capacity-building and knowledge sharing of these tools must be a continuous effort by all.
