When an emergency strikes， whether a sudden onset natural disaster or an armed conflict， children require special protection to ensure their safety and well-being. UNICEF’s global mandate for children specifically provides for a focus on protecting children from the immediate and long-term effects of emergencies.
UNICEF’s actions to protect children in emergencies are varied and far-reaching and form part of UNICEF’s core commitments for children in humanitarian action. UNICEF’s objectives are to actively prevent children from being harmed； to monitor violations committed against them； and to develop programmes to respond to instances where children are at risk of or have been subjected to violence， exploitation or abuse.
Though devastating， emergencies can provide opportunities to work with governments to ‘build back better’ and strengthen systems， including through legal reform， policies and capacity building.
