Ministerial High Level Event on “Protection of Children: Invisible Victims of Armed Conflict and COVID-19”

Hosted By: Save the Children, Belgium, the European Union, and Niger

Hosted by Save the Children, Belgium, the European Union, and Niger, this event will focus on approaches that guarantee that children affected by armed conflict do not remain invisible in the post-COVID-recovery & ensure that children’s rights are respected and their needs addressed. Based on children’s real stories, this event will highlight how the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and armed conflict have exposed children to greater threats, exacerbated vulnerabilities, and worsened the protection needs of children, and discus how to address it.
