Vulnerable children who have lost their caregivers to Covid at grave risk of abuse and exploitation
A study published in the Lancet on children impacted by COVID-19, which estimates a staggering 1.5 million children have lost at least one parent or grandparent to the virus, is a wake-up call that cannot be ignored, warns Save the Children.
Governments and organisations need to step up and protect these children, Save the Children said, to prevent them from falling victim to hunger, abuse, poverty, or exploitation, or being put into institutional care.

Human rights groups and Indigenous advocates have criticised the federal government for ignoring international pressure to raise the age of criminal responsibility.
Australia fronted the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday evening, as part of the Universal Period Review which occurs every five years, thrusting its human rights record under the global spotlight.
Currently, children in Australia can be held criminally responsible from the age of 10.
More than 30 member nations supported a key recommendation from an initial UN hearing in January to raise the minimum age to 14.
