UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The first lady of Qatar will play a leading role in a new campaign to bring education to 61 million children around the world who are not in school, especially the nearly half living in conflict areas.

Sheika Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned, a special envoy for UNESCO and the only wife of Qatar’s ruler who makes public appearances, said she especially wants over the next few years to draw global attention to an often-forgotten consequence of war: the 28 million children in conflict zones deprived of education.
