Lebanon
Bordering Syria, Lebanon is hosting approximately 1.5 million Syrian refugees and almost 470,000 Palestinian refugees. Multiple humanitarian crises – the worsening socio-economic situation, COVID-19, the Beirut’s blast and the protracted Syrian crisis – have exposed children to increased protection risks such as exploitation, abuse, harassment, physical, psychological and emotional violence but also gender-based violence. Terre des hommes (Tdh) works with local partners to provide them with appropriate services, to raise awareness on children’s rights and to foster community engagement on child protection issues. Tdh is also involved in promoting a child-friendly justice system through capacity building activities.
