2.13. Children

New version of this publication is available

COMMON ANALYSIS
Last update: December 2020
*Minor updates added: April 2022

This profile refers to Afghan nationals under the age of 18.

Most sections under the profile on children have not been reviewed in the current update. While there is limited specific new information, it is considered likely that previous conclusions with regard to children remain largely valid.

An element to take into account is the current unclarity with regard to children’ rights, based on previous national law and international treaties that Afghanistan had previously entered into.

In the following subsections, the focus is on certain child-specific circumstances of increased vulnerability and risks that children in Afghanistan may be exposed to.

The contents of this section include:

2.13.1. Violence against children: overview
2.13.2. Child marriage
2.13.3. Child recruitment
2.13.4. Child labour and child trafficking
2.13.5. Education of children and girls in particular
2.13.6. Children without a support network in Afghanistan

2.13. Children
