Background


As at January 31st January 2015, there are 429,567 refugees and asylum seekers in Uganda, of which 257,567 are children. With children comprising almost 65% of the refugee population present in settlements and 45% in Kampala, child protection is a core element of the refugee response in Uganda.


Children are at a great risk of abuse, neglect, violence, or exploitation in refugee settings. Forced into new and unknown environments, children respond to distress in many ways. Some have witnessed violent acts or have been separated from their families during flight. The most recent influxes of refugees to Uganda are from the civil conflict in South Sudan that erupted in late 2013, and from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which has experienced repeated cycles of forced displacement fueled by ethnic violence and political instability. In refugee settlements, children under the age of 18 make up 65% percent of all refugees. These are children who have been forced to leave their home, leave their school and leave their friends to flee to an unfamiliar location. In these situations, children’s vulnerability is compounded and they are at a higher risk of sexual abuse, physical harm, economic exploitation and other forms of harm.


UNICEF has been supporting the provision of essential services, including within the child protection sector in all locations where refugees are being settled, however there remains an urgent need to continue and improve child protection interventions and emergency preparedness given that refugee populations from South Sudan, DRC and Burundi are continuing to seek asylum in Uganda and increased influxes are expected during the second half of 2015.
