鈥淏ecause we struggle to survive鈥 Child Labour among Refugees of the Syrian Conflict | This study provides pertinent first-hand information on the reality facing Syrian children who are working either in their homeland, the neighbouring countries or elsewhere in Europe. Syria's civil war is the w...orst humanitarian crisis of our time. Hundreds of thousands of people - adults and children alike - have been killed. Two thirds of all Syrians have lost their homes and their livelihoods. Millions of Syrians have been uprooted from their home communities and forced to flee within their country or to neighbouring countries. The consistent spill-over has drawn global attention not just to the humanitarian crisis facing both local communities and national governments but also to the economic and social strain. The bloodshed wreaked by the different parties continues. The suffering deepens. Approximately half of the Syrian refugees and displaced persons are children and young people who suffer from a double-vulnerability: as children and as migrants or refugees.

Diese Studie liefert einschl盲gige Informationen aus erster Hand 眉ber die Lebenswirklichkeit von syrischen Kindern, die arbeiten m眉ssen: in ihrem Heimatland, in den Nachbarstaaten oder in Europa. Der syrische B眉rgerkrieg ist die schlimmste humanit盲re Katastrophe unserer Zeit. Hunderttausende Men...schen 鈥 Erwachsene und Kinder 鈥 wurden get枚tet. Zwei Drittel aller Syrer haben ihr Zuhause und ihre Existenzgrundlage verloren. Millionen Syrer wurden aus ihrem Lebensumfeld gerissen und gezwungen, innerhalb ihres Landes oder in die Nachbarl盲nder zu fliehen. Die enormen Auswirkungen auf andere L盲nder ziehen internationale Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Diese richtet sich nicht nur auf die humanit盲re Krise in den betroffenen Gebieten und L盲ndern, sondern auch auf deren wirtschaftliche und soziale Last. Das durch die verschiedenen Konfliktparteien verursachte Blutvergie脽en h盲lt an, das Leid wird gr枚脽er. Rund die H盲lfte aller syrischen Fl眉chtlinge und Vertriebenen sind Kinder und Jugendliche: Diese sind doppelt verletzlich 鈥 als Kinder und als Fl眉chtlinge oder Vertriebene.

The Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Service Package for Men and Adolescent Boys has been developed to support providers of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services to increase the range and quality of services to meet the specific and diverse needs of men and adolescent boys. This package... focuses specifically on the provision of such services integrated
within clinical and non-clinical contexts and follows a gender-transformative approach. It covers men and adolescent boys in all their diversity and takes a positive approach to SRH, seeing this not just as the absence of disease, but the positive expression of one鈥檚 gender, sex and sexuality. In doing so, this service package contributes to efforts to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) as prioritized in the Sustainable Development Goals. This package is in no way intended to detract from the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and adolescent girls, nor to divert resources, funding or attention from much-needed SRH services and programmes for women and adolescent girls.
