PRIO has carried out a data mapping exercise of key indicators for children in conflict since 1997, as well as some basic analysis of the main risk factors.
This research is used to inform Save the Children's Protecting Children in Conflict strand of work, and forms part of a flagship report for the organization, which was presented at the Munic Security Summit in February 2018.
The mapping provides an overview of the patterns of armed conflict, number of children affected by armed conflict, child mortality in conflict zones, sexual violence against children, as well as the prevalence of child soldiers.
