This is more than Violence: An Overview of Children’s Protection Needs in Syria is the compilation of Child Protection Data collected for the 2018 Syria Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). It aims to provide analysis of child protection needs and risks to support child protection actors in programme development, resource mobilisation and advocacy to respond to the protection needs of children in Syria. This report should be read alongside the 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview and 2018 Protection Needs Overview. Child Protection actors working to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence against children are encouraged to consider the breath and diversity of issues affecting children in Syria. Child Protection issues should be viewed as interconnected and compounding, as children rarely experience a particular protection issue in isolation of other protection issues and vulnerabilities.
