The COVID-19 crisis has a potentially far-reaching, long-term negative impact on children around the world, Human Rights Watch said in a report released on Friday.

The report warns that COVID-19 crisis has also. Europol has reported that law enforcement partners are reporting “increased online activity by those seeking child abuse material,” as a result of COVID-19.

“Children are spending more time online due to school shutdowns, and may be anxious or lonely because of isolation and confinement, making them more vulnerable to online predators.” It also raises concerns about the millions of children detained in the justice system, immigration detention, or confined in orphanages. The organisation says as the COVID-19 pandemic overwhelms health systems, children may no longer receive immunizations or have access to life-saving basic health care.

Expanding public education, awareness campaigns, hotlines, and other services for children at risk of violence in the home or online sexual exploitation; Transferring children deprived of liberty to family-based care and ensuring suitable accommodation and sanitation for refugee, migrant, and internally displaced children.
