War's Hidden Mental Health Toll on Children with Disabilities
Original: War’s Hidden Mental Health Toll on Children with Disabilities
Human Rights Watch is highlighting the psychological damage war inflicts on children with disabilities, a group it says is often overlooked in humanitarian responses. The organisation warns that conflict exacerbates trauma, disrupted care and isolation for these children, urging governments and aid agencies to address mental health needs alongside physical protection in war zones.
Why now: Human Rights Watch has just published its findings, drawing attention to an underreported consequence of armed conflict.
