Background
A year has passed since COVID-19 began disrupting systems. Although children are not considered a risk population for the virus, there is accumulating knowledge regarding children's escalating risk for maltreatment during the pandemic.
Objective
The current study is part of a larger initiative using an international platform to examine child maltreatment (CM) reports and child protective service (CPS) responses in various countries. The first data collection, which included a comparison between eight countries after the pandemic's first wave (March–June 2020), illustrated…
Understanding the risks and responses to children’s caregiving environment during COVID-19 remains limited. This is especially the case in humanitarian settings. This brief, therefore, aims to report what is known so far during the pandemic. The brief focuses on strategies to strengthen the caregiving environment through family- and community-based approaches. It also offers a series of case studies from various humanitarian and emergency contexts.
Summary
Among the more than 760,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States are parents, custodial grandparents, or other caregivers on whom children had relied for financial, emotional, and developmental support. Many of these children already faced significant social and economic adversity, and these devastating losses can impact their development and success for the rest of their lives. In a report written with the COVID Collaborative, we estimate the number of children who lost a parent or other caregiver to COVID-19 and provide concrete recommendations for urgent actions to protect…
Background:
In France, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a general lockdown from mid-March to mid-May 2020, forcing families to remain confined. We hypothesized that children may have been victims of more physical abuse during the lockdown, involving an increase in the relative frequency of hospitalization.
Methods:
Using the national administrative database on all admissions to public and private hospitals (PMSI), we selected all children aged 0–5 years hospitalized and identified physically abused children based on ICD-10 codes. We included 844,227 children…
The purpose of this evidence synthesis is to analyze the primary and secondary impacts of the pandemic on children who are refugees, IDPs and/or migrants and highlights important protective factors and emerging response measures identified in a review of recent news media, project reporting, academic research and other relevant resources mapped over the previous five-month period. The rest of this synthesis is organized in the following way: child participation barriers and opportunities are illustrated by using examples from select articles and research studies, key emerging…
Caregiver death increases risks of short-term trauma and lifelong adverse consequences for children. One micro-simulation research letter estimated parental deaths in the U.S. to Feb 2021. A global study aggregated COVID-associated orphanhood and co-resident caregiver deaths across 21 countries.
This report captures overall and U.S. state-specific findings, disaggregated by race/ethnicity, for COVID-19-associated orphanhood and death of grandparent caregivers. High rates of orphanhood, marked disparities, and state-specific differences show the overlooked burden among children at…
No ano de 2019, o mundo foi assolado pela eclosão do novo Coronavírus com os primeiros casos detectados na China. Logo após a sua detecção, no decurso do primeiro trimestre de 2020, dado o seu alto nível de contaminação, o Coronavírus rapidamente se espalhou pelo Mundo, levando a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) a declará-la pandemia. Em África, o Coronavírus chegou de forma tímida, mas, rapidamente alastrou-se por diversos países incluindo Moçambique. O primeiro caso de Coronavírus no País foi revelado a 22 de Março de 2020 pelas autoridades sanitárias tendo nos dias subsequentes anunciado…
A pesquisa aqui apresentada teve como objetivo construir informações sobre as principais políticas, medidas e ações desenvolvidas no nível regional, visando acompanhar a saída de adolescentes e jovens do sistema de cuidados alternativos e indagar a sua eficácia, efetividade, sustentabilidade e adaptação a uma abordagem de direitos na Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Colômbia, México e Peru.

More than 10.5 million children have lost one or both parents during the coronavirus pandemic — nearly double the previous estimates — according to data released Tuesday.
Southeast Asia and Africa suffered the greatest rate of losses, with one out of every 50 children affected compared with one out of 150 children in the Americas, according to the research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics.
Among the countries with the highest rates of parent and caregiver deaths are Bolivia, Peru,…
