Why this matters
The global displacement crisis has severe consequences for children, who are often excluded from decision-making processes that affect their lives. As humanitarian funding shortfalls and restrictive immigration policies limit the space for action, it is crucial to recognize displaced children as rights-holders and agents of change. By centering their voices and perspectives, policymakers can create more effective and inclusive solutions. The report's emphasis on education access and family unity highlights the need for tailored support that addresses the unique needs of displaced children, particularly girls and children with disabilities. As the international community grapples with historic levels of displacement, it must prioritize the participation and empowerment of displaced children and youth, ensuring that their experiences and aspirations inform policies and programs designed to support them. This approach can help bridge the gap between humanitarian response and long-term protection, ultimately shaping a more durable and sustainable future for displaced children worldwide.
