Middle East and North Africa
Children and young people in the Middle East and North Africa account for nearly half of the region’s population. Many are exposed to political instability, violence and forced migration. Child marriage, as well as child labour, are both a consequence of poverty. As the unemployment rate of young people in the region is the highest worldwide, they face difficulties to access employment. We work with local partners, community leaders and national authorities to give children protection, education and access to justice.
