Crises put children and youth at greater risk of abuse, neglect and other forms of violence. Here’s how UNICEF and partners like the Illinois Collaboration on Youth are standing up for those in need.
to keep children safe in the midst of the pandemic. These efforts focus on disease prevention and ensuring that children remain protected from exploitation, exclusion and violence. They also focus on fighting misinformation and ensuring that parents are aware of coronavirus and know how to protect their families.
For example, the Illinois Collaboration on Youth , of which UNICEF USA is a supporting partner, represents and supports nearly 100 organizations serving children, youth and families across Illinois. Over the past two weeks, ICOY has worked to ensure that Illinois' child protection systems effectively remain in operation during this period of limited contact. Notably, they submitted more than 80 recommendations to the office of Illinois Governor J.B.
Importantly, ICOY recognizes that emergencies affect groups of children in different ways with the most vulnerable children often requiring additional support. Children in detention and foster care, and those in families requiring protective intervention are a few examples where additional considerations are warranted.
“While emergencies can challenge infrastructure, they are also opportunities for building community and system resilience.”
