Iraq’s recent history is characterized by unrest and bloodshed. The continued wars that the country witnessed and the intensification of internal violence and Islamist surge after that, have resulted in immense humanitarian challenges for the country. The pace of displacement over the past three years has sharply increased. In 2014, 2 million civilians were displaced in Iraq. In 2015, an additional 1.4 million were forced to flee. From these 3.4 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) many were displaced for the second or third time. Currently over 10 million Iraqis require some form of humanitarian assistance. Needs are greatest in Iraq for people in areas impacted by the conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The most recent data on child protection issues in Ninewa (dated December 2016) are worrying and include abduction, child labour, children associated with Armed Forces and Armed Groups, killing and maiming of children and physical violence. <p></p> Project aim:
