Children in refugee situations face many potential dangers, such as violence, abuse, exploitation, discrimination, separation from their families, trafficking and military recruitment. The impact of these experiences can be devastating and long-last...ing. Children have different needs from adults and these needs can only be identified and met if they are approached in a way that is specific to children.
