Child protection in emergencies is about preventing and responding to violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect of children during time of emergency caused by natural and man-made disasters, conflict or other crises.
Emergency situations can carry on long after the initial crisis has passed. They require effective and sustainable solutions to provide both short and long-term protection to children living in the wake of disaster and conflict. The delivery of child protection in emergencies occurs in a wide variety of locations from the immediate locality of the crisis to internally displaced person sites and refugee facilities.
