Myanmar
Myanmar faces poverty, insecurity and ethnic-based conflict. The military takeover has exacerbated the vulnerability of poor families. Rural-urban migration puts pressure on urban centres’ infrastructure and has led to the growth of informal settlements, where lack of education, health and protection services put children at risk of neglect, abuse, violence and trafficking. The number of children in contact with the justice system and children in street situations is alarming. Terre des hommes (Tdh) improves their situation by building capacities and strengthening services in child protection, healthcare and juvenile justice.
