Despite the increasing population of refugees stuck in protracted situations and our awareness of the vulnerability of children and adolescents gro...wing in up these contexts, relatively little is known about community based child protection mechanisms (CBCPMs) in refugee communities. CBCPMs, defined broadly, include all groups or networks that respond to and prevent problems of child protection and vulnerable children.
