The Time to Advocate for Refugees Is Now
Today, conflicts around the world continue to displace children of all ages. The dangers inherent to child refugees and internally displaced children put them at risk every day. In conflict, everything is on the table – death, injury, protection risks. Children are terrified. They are hearing explosions, they are being asked to flee with just the clothes on their backs. The risk to their mental health and potential for long-term trauma cannot be underestimated.
Save the Children is an organization that helps refugees and an outspoken champion for every last child. Together with our political advocacy arm, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN), we work to ensure children’s voices are heard, their rights are realized and their issues are given top priority.
