We are pleased to ennounce the publication of "Ensuring a Gender
Perspective in Education in Emergencies", developed by the Inter-Agency

mainstreaming in humanitarian action developed by the UN Inter-Agency
Standing Committee and partner organizations. It is meant to serve as a

concerns are integrated into all protection and assistance programs in
humanitarian emergencies. The education chapter includes the following
checklists:

Emergencies (http://www.ineesite.org/standards/MSEE_report.pdf and to
provide gender-sensitive education in emergencies
