FEBRUARY, 24
2022.

Since the start of full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation of Ukraine on 24 February, major attacks have been reported across country, resulting in widescale destruction of infrastructure, loss of life, and displacement.   

  

Two out of three Ukrainian children is currently displaced, or some 5 million children, which adds increased vulnerability. According to the latest's assessment by IOM, 51% of IDP respondents indicated that at least one member of the family currently with them is a child between ages of 5 and 17. Displaced children are extremely vulnerable to being separated from their families, exploited, and trafficked.    

  

Civil society organizations in Ukraine have been quick to react to the immediate priorities of their communities, but face many challenges as they attempt to provide humanitarian help to large numbers of people. A large number of CSOs are now providing new services and interventions that they have not worked on before, including providing assistance to children who suffered from child sexual abuse during the war.
