'90 percent of Ukrainian refugees are women and children. Since the beginning of the conflict, hundreds of children have been killed.'
The Russian invasion of Ukraine epitomizes many of the challenges children face today, by inflicting serious damage to children's health and quality of life. By the middle of May 2022, more than 6.1 million people had fled Ukraine, half of them children. Millions more have been internally displaced. 90 percent of Ukrainian refugees are women and children. Since the beginning of the conflict, hundreds of children have been killed.
The forced eviction from their homes and unfamiliar personal and social environments are considered Adverse Childhood Experiences . They impair children's cognitive development and their physical and mental health. As a result of an elevated level of ACEs resulting from war, many Ukrainian children now suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder that, if not addressed with social support, therapy and sometimes medication, can have long-term negative effects on children's quality of life.
Several organizations working against trafficking of human beings have warned that Ukrainian refugees --particularly unaccompanied minors—are at risk of falling into exploitation and violence, including sexual violence. German authorities advise refugees not to accept help from unidentified people at train stations, and have increased the number of undercover police officers at train stations and other gathering places.
