The Consequences of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine for Children in Ukrainian Residential Institutions
Summary
Lviv, in western Ukraine, had largely been spared Russian attack until around 8:30 a.m. on April 18, 2022, when four cruise missiles killed seven people. One missile hit a car tire factory a few hundred meters from a residential institution for children. The institution’s director said 27 children had lived there before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, but that at the time of the attack there were an additional 50 children who had been evacuated from…
Примусове переміщення, депортація та усиновлення дітей з України, що призвело до остаточного розлучення дітей із їхніми сім’ями, громадами та культурою, є явним порушенням їхніх прав людини та міжнародного
гуманітарного права та становить суттєву загрозу їхній безпеці та добробуту, а також їхньому відчуттю ідентичності та приналежності.
Ми засуджуємо таку практику та закликаємо всі сторони конфлікту поважати міжнародні закони та стандарти, що існують для захисту дітей у конфліктах та інших надзвичайних ситуаціях.
Ми закликаємо російську владу, зокрема Уповноваженого Президента Росії…
Eurochild stands alongside 14 other NGOs to call on the international community to protect all children, from Ukraine and beyond
A year has passed since the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, which has affected and displaced millions of children. Despite the international community’s repeated calls for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, the plight of children and young people caught in this atrocious war remain, with little end in sight.
Children are among the most vulnerable in times of war, with their fundamental rights consistently…
The forcible transfer, deportation and adoption of children from Ukraine, resulting in permanently separating children from their families, communities and culture, is a clear violation of their human rights and of international humanitarian law, and poses a substantial threat to their safety and wellbeing as well as to their sense of identity and belonging.
We condemn these practices and urge all parties to the conflict to respect international laws and standards that are there to protect children in conflict and other emergencies.
We call upon the Russian authorities, including Russia…
Brief overview of the situation regarding the rights of people with disabilities in Ukraine one year after the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
This report published by the Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) documents the relocation by Russia of at least 6,000 children from Ukraine to a network of re-education and adoption facilities in Russia-occupied Crimea and mainland Russia.
The researcher identified 43 facilities involved in holding children from Ukraine since Russia’s 24 February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.The majority are recreational camps where children are taken for ostensible vacations, while others are facilities used to house children put up for foster care or adoption in Russia. These…
This is Human Rights Watch's submission to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child's 94th pre-session to highlight areas of concern regarding the government of Russia’s compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
Russia has brought some 700,000 children from the conflict zones in Ukraine into Russian territory, Grigory Karasin, head of the international committee in the Federation Council, Russia's upper house of parliament, said late on Sunday.
"In recent years, 700,000 children have found refuge with us, fleeing the bombing and shelling from the conflict areas in Ukraine," Karasin wrote on his Telegram messaging channel.
The aim of this study was to investigate (a) the extent to which child maltreatment co-occurs with parental separation and (b) associations between different types of child maltreatment and various types of separation-associated interparental conflict. Professionals working with children (N = 785) reported each case of suspected child maltreatment they observed during a 3- month period and indicated whether parental divorce or separation was about to take place or had taken place. This resulted in 530 reported cases that matched the definitions of child maltreatment for which information on…
The violent war in Ukraine is threatening the safety and security of millions of people. The situation is quickly becoming the largest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II. As of 27 March 2022, around 3.9 million refugees had crossed from Ukraine to some seven neighbouring countries.
