1. UNICEF

UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child. In countries experiencing conflict and upheaval such as Syria, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Central African Republic, and Iraq, UNICEF protects children from military conscription, works to stop trafficking and helps child soldiers reintegrate into their communities. UNICEF advocates to protect children and women in conflict from the systematic sexual violence that is increasingly used as a weapon of war and works to help victims of that abuse. Without protection from violence and exploitation, the basic survival and development of children is at risk.Child In War & Conflict - UNICEF
