Rund drei Viertel der in Deutschland lebenden Flüchtlinge aus Syrien, dem Irak und Afghanistan sind nach Gewalterlebnissen traumatisiert.
Over half a billion children are living in areas with extremely high levels of floods and nearly 160 million children live in areas of high or extremely high droughts. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 26% of the annual 6.6 million deaths of children under five are linked to environ...ment-related causes and conditions. Children are also disproportionately affected by pollution, not only in terms of death rates, but also in terms of cognitive and physical development. This report illustrates that environmental causes also have an impact on whether children are pushed to work and on the kind of work they engage in, the conditions of work, exposure to dangerous toxicants and the risk of exploitation. However, the report raises more questions than it answers as it is one of the first reports addressing the question, how environmental degradation and climate change affect the vulnerability of children towards exploitation.

Die befragten Jugendämter und Fachverbände schildern laut des Berichts einerseits einen guten Ablauf des Verteilverfahrens. Zugleich dokumentiert der Bericht, dass junge Menschen sich der Verteilung noch immer entziehen, untertauchen und sich eigenständig zu Freunden und Verwandten oder in städt...ische Ballungsgebiete begeben. Angaben zur steigenden alltagsrelevanten psychischen Belastung aufgrund von traumatischen Erfahrungen im Herkunftsland und während der Flucht bestätigen auch die Ergebnisse der Online-Befragung durch den Bundesfachverband vom Herbst 2017.

This paper was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in 2015, and produced by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in cooperation with German civil society actors and freelance psychologists working in the field... of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) with refugees and internally displaced people (IDP) in both the Middle Eastern region and Germany. The commission arose from BMZ’s wish for guidance on the characteristics of good working practices in MHPSS and the desire expressed by GIZ’s civil society partners in the regional programme Psychosocial Support for Syrian and Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced People for more intensive dialogue to promote MHPSS in the context of the Syria and Iraq crises.
