European Parliament Intergroup Statement on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Children
Originally published by Vote for Children on 10/04/2020
Summary
The current pandemic is in fact putting a disproportionate strain on children living in poverty, homeless children, refugee children, children in care, stateless and undocumented children, and children with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, among others. Children and young people will have to face a new different reality after the crisis and their future seems compromised, therefore they will have to be part of the solution, as the responsibility of the reconstruction will lie on them.
