Executive Summary | Still Unprotected: Humanitarian Funding for Child Protection

Children have a fundamental right to be protected, wherever they live.

Children affected by humanitarian crises are among the most vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, violence and neglect and most in need of protection, yet there is limited commitment to fund protective responses. Throughout 2020, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the containment measures have layered risk upon risk for children in humanitarian crises.

This report builds on analysis undertaken in 2019 and documented in the report Unprotected: Crisis in Humanitarian Funding for Child Protection and incorporates 2019 and 2020 funding and additional funding streams related to refugee contexts.
