PHOTO OF THE WEEK: 13 November 2012
A girl attends school in the village of Mélé, Central African Republic – because of conflict, only half of the children in the region go to school.
Girls and women continue to endure high rates of gender-related violence, especially in conflict-affected northern parts of the country. And, more than one third of the population is affected by warring parties, who have destroyed vital infrastructure, including schools.
