Upholding the Rights of Children Deprived of Family Care in Armed Conflict - Hope and Homes for Children At the Human Rights Council’s Annual Day on the Rights of the Child, we urge states to protect children deprived of family care in conflict.

We’re delighted to see the #HRC recognise the need to protect children while avoiding institutionalisation in its newly adopted Resolution on realising the rights of the child affected by armed conflict.
