Missing Children Resources
Children who are displaced are more vulnerable to a multitude of dangers. Their lack of maturity and education, as well as vulnerabilities related to their ongoing physical and psychological development, predispose them to an increased risk of exploitation and to going missing prior to, during, and after their journeys.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has resulted in a mass migration in which more than 8 million people have fled the country since the conflict began. Another 7.1 million people remained internally displaced within Ukraine as of May 2022. The significant and traumatic impact on children cannot be overlooked. Two out of every three children in Ukraine have been displaced from their homes. According to the UN, more than 5 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance due to the war in Ukraine.
