Children should be at the heart of any humanitarian or other assistance for Ukraine. Particular attention must be paid to the most vulnerable groups of children who are unaccompanied, separated from their families, disabled or from children’s institutions. Unfortunately, to this day, the international community has not identified a comprehensive action plan on how to address the dire situation of these children. The speakers will explain the current situation of children in Ukraine, the gaps and solutions that support the most vulnerable groups of children.
