The violence in Pakistan is the latest example of what is
becoming a horrific pattern: armed men using schoolchildren as pawns in their
conflicts, turning access to education into a weapon of war. On December 17,
just one day after the Peshawar massacre, yet another 100 children were
kidnapped in Nigeria – allegedly by gunmen from Boko Haram, a terrorist group
whose very name means “Western education is forbidden.” The latest assault took
place only 30 miles from the village of Chibok, where the Islamist militants
shocked the world by abducting more than 200 Nigerian girls in April. Schools
– which should be safe havens – have instead become targets for terrorist
groups hoping that their horrific massacres will be reported around the world.
In the past five years, there have been more than 10,000 attacks on schools and
schoolchildren. On the same day that Islamist militants were shooting
schoolboys in Pakistan, terrorists murdered 15 Yemeni children on a school bus.
In Afghanistan, Colombia, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria, at least 1,000
schools and colleges have been bombed or raided. In the aftermath of the
attacks, the schools are usually closed, with the students left to roam the
streets. ( reference: World Economic Forum)
For
many survivors, the chance of an education is lost forever. Evidence shows that
if a child is out of school for a year or more, there is a 50% chance that he or
she will never return.
