The Peshawar incident in Pakistan in which 145 people including 132 children were massacred in a school, has shocked the world. It gave rise to various debates such as whether children, especially girls, residing in conflict-prone areas should remain at home to stay safe from the Taliban. Amidst this environment of uncertainty, there are those who consider a child’s right to education to be above everything else. Organisations like BRAC still choose to continue working in the conflict-stricken, hard-to-reach areas across Asia and Africa.
