Child Protection in Emergencies

Child protection in emergencies involves ensuring children's safety, well-being, and rights during crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, or pandemics. It includes preventing abuse, exploitation, and neglect, as well as providing access to essential services like healthcare, shelter, and education. The goal is to create a protective environment where children are safe from harm and can recover emotionally and physically. It also involves involving communities and caregivers to support children’s resilience and recovery, recognizing their unique vulnerabilities in emergency situations while promoting their development and dignity.
