Child LaborOverview/IssueThe emergency and the potential loss of livelihoods, breadwinners and access to education, and when families are displaced and separated, children become particularly vulnerable to child labor and WFCL. Number of children affected56.25% of a total of 32 surveyors of an assessment carried out in Abyan end of April, directly observed ‘many people begging in the street’.82 No information is available on the percentage of children among them. CapacitiesNo information available. Response to dateNo information available. GapsNo information available. Unaccompanied and separated childrenOverview/IssueThe ongoing conflict and population displacement is likely to cause separation of children from their parents and families, which exposes boys and girls to increase risk of violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect. Unaccompanied and separated children are for example at increased risk of trafficking. There is little data on unaccompanied and separated children, but different assessment indicate whether whole families fled or only women and children: A rapid assessment carried out in Al Jawf reports that the approximately 1,250 families having entered the area were mainly comprised of women and children.83 An assessment in Abyan showed that nearly 50% of the displaced left with the whole family. 45% of respondents said that women and children left, but some men stayed behind.84 86.7% of respondents of a rapid assessment in Aden, fled their homes, of which 76.7% fled with the whole family. 10% of the respondents said that only women and children had fled.85 An assessment in Amran showed that caregivers spoke about the unstable psychological status of children, due to, among other, the fear of losing their mother and father.86 Number of children affectedIn Abyan Governorate, 81.25% of respondents reported that there a serious problem in their community because people have been separated from family members.87 12.5% said there was no such problem and 6.25% answered that they didn’t know. Unfortunately is it not clear, who got separated. 78.13% reported that it is a problem that unaccompanied children, orphans, widows, elderly people, people who are sick or disabled do not get enough help. The percentage of each category of persons in need is not known. An assessment in Amran Governorate indicated that there are three families that have a child/children missing. But more than 40 families are taking care of children who were not part of their families before the displacement.88 Since the beginning of April, 941 unaccompanied minors (of a total of 5,161) have returned from Yemen to Ethiopia having transited through Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan.89
CapacitiesNo information available. Response to datePrevention and life-saving messages reach hundreds of thousands of IDPs and community members. The messages focus, among other, on avoiding family separation.90 GapsNo information available. Justice for childrenOverview/IssueHumanitarian situations often increase the possibility of children coming into contact with the justice system as alleged offenders, victims or witnesses, or in a combination of these roles. The many armed checkpoints are presenting a danger in this regard. Number of children affected9 boys were detained by Ansar Allah as they reportedly conducted “law enforcement operations”. 6 other incidents of detention by Ansar Allah were also verified involving 6 boys, 4 of whom were detained for their alleged association with Islah (the Muslim Brotherhood-linked party), and 1 because of his father’s association with Islah.91 No further information is available.
