Protecting Children's Rights Using Community Based Approaches

Since the first influx of Sudanese refugees into Ethiopia in late 80’s, Save the Children Sweden has played a great role in providing support, care and protection for the war-affected children. One of the negative impacts of war is the breakdown of the social fabric which protects children from threats on their fundamental rights. In these situations, the role of parents, communities, civil society, the state and non-state actors in protecting children was minimised. This booklet summarises experiences made prior to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in January 2005.
