First-of-its-kind study by SOS Children’s Villages interviewed hundreds of children across eight countries to reveal multiple factors driving family separation.
Millions of children across the globe are at risk of losing parental care because of a multitude of unchecked threats, from intergenerational violence to economic hardship to discrimination, a new report has revealed.
The study is the first of its kind to assess the drivers behind the separation of children from their families, which can have harmful and lasting impacts on children and their development. The research was commissioned by SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest non-governmental organisation focused on children and young people without parental care, or those at risk of losing it.
