Your Right to Education: A Handbook for Refugees and Displaced Communities

Attachments

This book has been created for children and youth, parents, teachers and communities. It is meant to raise awareness of everyone's right to education and to encourage communities to work for educational services for all children and youth. The information in this book is based on international human rights, humanitarian and refugee law.

Your Right to Education is the second in a series of tools that the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children and the Pearson Foundation have developed to improve access to quality education for displaced communities. The first book, Right to Education during Displacement: A resource for organizations working with refugees and internally displaced persons, was developed for international and local organizations, the United Nations and governments working with displaced communities.
