Conflicts and Disaster

Conflicts, emergencies, and disasters endanger and impoverish children. Government, national and international bodies have a responsibility to protect children and their families, to treat them equitably, and to ensure their access to basic necessities.

When these conditions are not met, the national government must be supported or held accountable by the national and international community and local leaders to restore peace, security, and family livelihood.

World Vision advocates for peace in areas of conflict, robust life-saving action in the event of emergencies, and risk mitigation in disaster-prone regions around the world.
