In a year when there are more local conflicts than ever – and in which children have become among the first (and forgotten) casualties – it is urgent that we make stopping attacks on schools a high priority. In dark times, children and parents continue to view their schools as sanctuaries, as places of normality and safety.
在地方冲突比以往任何时候都更频繁的一年里，在儿童成为首要受害群体（并且惨遭遗忘）的一年里，对于我们来说，将阻止袭击学校作为重中之重十分紧迫。在黑暗时期，儿童和父母们继续将学校视为圣殿，视为道德和安全之所。当法律和秩序崩溃时，人们需要的不仅是物质帮助——食品、住所和医疗等——还有希望。没有比让学校正常运行更强大的捍卫没有冲突的未来愿景的办法了。
