Emergencies

In conflicts and disasters, it is children who suffer first and suffer the most. During emergencies and humanitarian contexts, children are particularly vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and violence. Children living in conflict zones are the worst off: they are more likely to live in extreme poverty, for example, for example not to be enrolled in primary school.

The chaos and insecurity of war threatens or destroys access to food, shelter, social support and health care, and leads to increased vulnerability of communities, especially children.

Stop Child Abuse(SCA) focuses on these children and their families to provide them with the essential interventions needed to protect them, save lives and guarantee the rights of all children, everywhere.

Every child, child has the right to live free from violence, exploitation and abuse.

Children experience insidious forms of violence, exploitation and abuse. It happens in refugee camps, and in the places children should be most protected – their homes, schools and online.
