Across the globe, nearly 50 million children have been uprooted due to conflict and poverty, with millions fleeing brutal conflicts. The conditions in which refugee and detained children live and the support services available to them are of great concern. Schools are also sites of intolerance and hate crimes targeting both students and teachers. Many children are recruited as child soldiers or face starvation, disease, and death in war-torn regions like Yemen, Africa, and the Middle East.
