Bound by humanity: UNICEF protecting children in conflict

About

In 2026, children worldwide continue to face grave threats to their security with increasing frequency and devastating impacts. From widespread killing, maiming, abduction and sexual violence to recruitment into armed forces and groups and strikes on schools and hospitals – the scale of attacks on children living in war zones is deeply shocking.

‘Bound by humanity: UNICEF protecting children in conflict’ makes the case that investing in protection systems through flexible, long-term and predictable funding is both critical and urgent and examines how it allows UNICEF to deliver prevention and response services and advocate to end and prevent grave violations and other attacks on children.
