Paragraph
Paragraph text
[Vulnerabilities and risks faced by children who are internally displaced during armed conflict – addressing their rights]: Most people fleeing armed conflict do so within the borders of their own countries. They are unable or reluctant to leave their homelands and increasingly find countries of asylum less willing to accept them. Of the estimated 27.1 million people around the world today who have been forced to flee their homes due to armed conflict, and who remain within their countries as IDPs, at least half, and likely more, are children.
