Climate-induced displacement, while essential for survival, brings significant health challenges, especially for women, who face disproportionate difficulties accessing healthcare, food, and shelter during and after migration.

The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) through the Department of Refugees has committed to use findings from a recent survey report to address violence against refugee children and youths in the country.

The first-ever Violence Against Children Survey (VACS) in Uganda’s refugee settlements reveals high rates of emotional, physical, and sexual violence affecting children's well-being. Nearly 50% of 18-24-year-old males and females experienced at least one form of violence before age 18. Conducted from March to April 2022, the survey shows that many children's first encounter with violence occurred after arriving at the settlements. Dr. Chi-Chi Undie, Research Director of Baobab RPC, emphasized the importance of these findings, urging further action to address the violence and support vulnerable children in Uganda's refugee communities.
