Unprotected: Crisis in Humanitarian Funding for Child Protection

Save the Children, on behalf of The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, recently conducted a desk review of the total global humanitarian funding allocated to child protection between 2010 and 2018, with in-depth studies of 13 conflict affected countries.The report Unprotected: Crisis in Humanitarian Funding for Child Protection finds that while "the number of children living in conflict affected areas has almost doubled since 1990, and the verified grave violations against children has almost tripled since 2010, activities that aim to increase the protection of children in humanitarian settings remain alarmingly underfunded on average."  In fact, a mere 0.5% of total humanitarian funding is allocated to child protection activities.  For more details and findings, you can find the press release and the report here.
