Save the Children Civil-Military Coordination: COVID-19 Humanitarian Response

The COVID-19 pandemic will affect children’s well-being, development and protection including disrupting the environments, in which they can survive, learn and be protected. Military and security actors are likely to be involved in government’s responses to COVID-19. Measures used to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 may expose children to education and protection risks, and violate child rights.
