Partners

The Safe to Learn coalition is...

Safe to Learn is backed by a powerful coalition of 17 partners working together to provide an opportunity for change so that all children, in all their diversity can learn safely, no matter how or where they may be learning.

Safe to Learn’s partners represent major leaders in education, child protection, gender, social behaviour change, and health – bringing together civil society, United Nations systems, donors, global partnerships, the business sector and the UN SRSG on Violence Against Children.
