Messages on Child Protection in the Pakistan Floods

Where there is population displacement, there are risks of separation of family members. Even during this emergency, all children have a right to a family and families have a right to care for their children. Services should be provided to families to encourage them to stay together, rather than seek alternative care options for children whilst families struggle to meet their needs. Unaccompanied and separated children should be provided with services aimed at reuniting them with their parents or customary caregivers as quickly as possible.
