Children Must Have a Say in Disaster Risk Reduction Plans

Plan wants children to have a greater say in helping to reduce disaster risk – and is bringing their voices to international policy makers.

During disasters, children often face injury, illness, separation from their families, interruption to their education and an increase in child labor and trafficking, giving them a unique insight into how to avoid these risks.

Plan’s Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) team will advocate that DRR work must listen to children and prioritize the specific risks posed to them during a global debate on disaster risk reduction at a major UN event later this month.
