Malala Fund is calling on governments to develop a longer-term vision for refugee response.

21.3 million people are refugees today, more than at any point in recent history. Almost 80% of all refugee adolescents are out of school; those left behind are mostly girls. Malala Fund is calling on governments that #YesAllGirls includes girls who are also refugees.
