Children make up 50% of those affected in humanitarian crises and are disproportionately impacted by conflict and crisis. Throughout 2020 and 2021, COVID-19, conflict and climate change have been impacting children at unprecedented scale, putting them at risk and driving displacement, poverty and violence. Whilst funding for child protection is increasing, child protection consistently remains one of the most underfunded sectors in humanitarian action and funds not meeting increasing needs. Closing this gap will require collective action to change the way we think about children’s…

Children make up approximately 50% of those affected in humanitarian crises and are disproportionately impacted by conflict and crisis.

A child’s care status impacts his or her health, developmental outcomes and general well-being, both during childhood and later in life. Children outside of a family setting are more likely than their family-based peers to experience abuse, neglect, exploitation, lack of stimulation, poor nutrition and toxic stress, with lifelong physical and psychological repercussions. Moreover, children living in institutional settings are frequently missing from official statistics since reporting for many indicators, particularly those that comprise global monitoring frameworks such as the Sustainable…

A big decision in Canada - the government there has agreed to pay more than $30 billion to compensate Indigenous children who were taken from their families and placed into the child welfare system. The money will also be used to improve child and family services on reserves of Indigenous First Nations.

Increased and long-term parental stress related to one's parental role can lead to parental burnout.

This study investigates the risk factors and predictors of parental burnout in a large sample of parents (N = 1488) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway. Demographic and psychosocial factors were as-sessed at two timepoints: at the beginning of the pandemic outbreak in March 2020 (T1) and at 3…
