Lebanon
Bordering Syria, Lebanon is hosting almost one million Syrian refugees and more than 175,000 Palestinian refugees who often live in precarious conditions. Children are the first to experience domestic and sexual violence, exploitation, early marriage and dropping out of school. Tdh works to provide them with appropriate services, raises awareness on children’s rights and fosters community engagement on child protection issues. Tdh is also involved in promoting a child-friendly justice system in Lebanon.
