What is going on in the
refugees camps?
KRG is short of resources and capacity to meet the huge needs of the refugee
children (such as food, public services, healthcare, and education), to integratethem with the host community, and to build the bridges between them and the
local community both in the camp and in the main cities, requiring the help of the
international community to meet the refugee children’s needs.
The children are the
most vulnerable
population.
Not only because of the
lack of resources,
education, and services,
but also because of the
impact of violence and
war in their lives. The
refugee children need animmediate response and
action to provide them
with a basic, safe, and
comfortable environment.

Principles
Realities
Children areindividuals.
Children areneither the
possessions of parents nor of the
state.
Children start life astotally dependent
beings. Childrenmust rely on adultsfor the nurturing
and guidance theyneed to grow
towards independence.
The actions, orinactions, of government
impact childrenmore stronglythan any other
group in society.
Children'sviews are
rarely heardand rarely
considered inthe political
process.
Many changes in
society have adisproportionate, andoften negative, impacton children, which is
particularlydevastating in
situations of armedconflict and other
emergencies.
Social researchfindings show thatchildren's earliest
experiencessignificantly
influence theirfuture
development.
The healthy
development of children is crucialto the future well-
being of anysociety.
This project shares the principles and considerations established by the Declaration of
the Rights of the Child and from the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which
specifically state that children need special attention in order to protect their rights

What has to be done?It is very important to build the local community’s capacity to meetits own needs, and to enable it to help the refugee children andmake them feel safe and secure. Refugee children are suffering themost in the current crisis from the severe environment and culturaldiversity and the most vulnerable in the Syrian armed conflict. Boththe Declaration of the Rights of Child and the Convention of theRights of the Child have to be respected for all Syrian children in therefugee camps by the local authorities that hold the mainresponsibility to fulfill those rights.
