The number of children fleeing conflict on their own is unprecedented, and continues to grow every year. Every hour, around 20 children – the same number as an average Australian primary school class – run for their lives without their parents to protect them. Embarking on perilous journeys with no-one to protect them, they face many dangers, falling prey to wild animals, malnutrition and disease, violence, abuse and exploitation.
