Children Affected by Armed Conflict and Displacement

Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of war, and frequently represent at least half of the population in a conflict area. They suffer fear and insecurity, and disruption to every aspect of their lives.

As displaced persons or refugees they may experience severe poverty, abuse, exploitation, and psychosocial distress.
