A child refugee has almost no defence against COVID-19.

Living in cramped, unsafe conditions they are deeply exposed to the cruel effects of this pandemic - more likely to experience violence, with no means of escape and no-one to turn to for support.

As part of its global response to the pandemic World Vision is working to reach as many vulnerable refugee children as possible.

We need governments to step up and protect more than 12 million refugee children around the world at risk from the impact of this pandemic both now and in the future.

Please sign our petition calling on governments to urgently increase funding for health, education and other social services that protect children from all forms of violence and abuse, especially for refugee girls and boys who are at greater risk due to the impacts of COVID-19.
