What risks do children face during conflict and displacement?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Myanmar, children (everyone under the age of 18) affected by conflict and displacement often face serious risks, which can negatively impact their growth in the long term. Children can for example find themselves separated from their families, can have to work or marry at a young age, experience violence or be hurt by landmines. Many children are not able to go to school and do not have access to medical care or emotional support. Children with disabilities, children without parents or caregivers and children from disadvantaged communities are among those most at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying risks that children face and recognizing changes in children\u2019s behavior early on are important to help them get the care and support they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNHCR does not provide specialized child protection services but can connect you with trusted partners and service providers. UNHCR treats referrals confidentially and follows up safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are worried about your or a child\u2019s safety or well-being, if you would like UNHCR to make a referral for specialized services or if you have any questions regarding how to support children during conflict and displacement, please contact UNHCR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
