This policy brief argues that protection of children remains a secondary concern for the international community in all phases of emergency response – but it must be a top priority.
The paper identifies seven critical types of protection that children require in disaster areas and war zones:
- protection from physical harm
- protection from exploitation and gender-based violence
- protection from psychosocial distress
- protection from recruitment into armed groups
- protection from family separation
- protection from abuses related to forced displacement
- protection from denial of children’s access to quality education
