“…In order to improve SRHR and identify tailored interventions in the context of conflict and displacement, there is an urgent need to gather information to ensure that the needs of young refugees are respected, protected and fulfilled in line with international human rights standards [ 14 , 15 ]. The available literature tends to report on the SRHR needs of young people [ 16 – 18 ], the SRHR needs of refugees in general [ 19 – 23 ], or the SRHR needs of a broader population such as refugee, migrant and internally displaced young women in Africa [ 8 ]; however, there is limited information available on the SRHR of young refugees [ 8 , 24 , 25 ]. To our knowledge, no study has compiled the global evidence on barriers and facilitators to SRHR for refugees aged 10 to 24 years.…”

Background The need to address sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in humanitarian settings is more urgent than ever, especially among young refugees. We conducted a scoping review to identify and synthesise the literature on perceived barriers and facilitators to SRHR among young refugees and interventions created to address their needs. Methods We searched three databases (PubMed, Global Health and POPLINE) for peer-reviewed and grey literature published in English between January 2008 and June 2018 that reported on SRHR barriers, facilitators and interventions for young refugees aged 10 to 24 years. We extracted data using standardised templates and assessed the quality of studies according to study design. Data were charted using qualitative content analysis and organised in line with a socio-ecological framework (individual, social and community, institutional and health system, and structural). Findings We screened 1,169 records and included 30 publications (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods) across 22 countries; 15 were peer-reviewed articles and 15 were from the grey literature. Twenty-two publications reported on young people in refugee camps or alternatives to camps (e.g. sustainable settlements), and eight referred to young refugees who had been resettled to a third country. We identified 19 sub-categories for barriers and 14 for facilitators at the individual, social and community, institutional and health system, and structural levels. No publications discussed the SRHR challenges faced by young homosexual, bisexual, transgender or queer refugees, or those living with HIV. Nine publications described interventions, which tended to focus on the provision of SRHR services and information, and the training of peers, parents, religious leaders and/or service providers. Conclusions Findings highlight that while young refugees experience similar barriers to SRHR as other young people, many of these barriers are exacerbated by the refugee context. The limited number of publications and evidence on interventions underlines the immediate need to invest in and evaluate SRHR interventions in refugee contexts.

“…The less commonly reported experiences of sexual violence are remarkable, given the findings of other studies, which indicate that unaccompanied children are at increased risk of becoming victims of sexual violence (Lay & Papadopoulos, 2009;Mason-Jones & Nicholson, 2018). Various reasons (e.g., shame, fear of not being believed, migration status, cultural background, and communication difficulties) might play a role.…”

Background: Children placed under governmental supervision and staying in residential or foster care are more vulnerable to violence than children who live with their own families. One specific group of children staying in reception facilities under governmental supervision comprises unaccompanied refugee children who have fled to a host country without their parents. Objective: This qualitative study explores the experiences of unaccompanied children with regard to violence in reception facilities in the Netherlands from the perspective of the children. Participants and setting: 183 unaccompanied children (N = 183) sheltered in a variety of reception facilities in the Netherlands. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted focusing on several topics related to their perceived quality of life. The transcripts of the interviews were analyzed for experiences with violence occurring inside the reception facilities. The codebook that was used was based on the categorization of maltreatment in the fourth United States National Incidence Study (NIS-4) and the interpretation of violence by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in General Comment No. 13 (GC 13). Results: A large share (66 %) of the unaccompanied children had experienced violence in various reception facilities. Most of the experiences reported had to do with either physical and emotional abuse and neglect or institutional violence. Conclusion:The breadth of experiences of violence underlines the responsibility of the Dutch state to invest in the safe reception of unaccompanied children in order to protect their development, while also investing in further research on the prevalence of violence in the reception of unaccompanied children.

Objetivo Mostrar las principales afecciones en salud sexual y reproductiva en mujeres víctimas del conflicto y posconflicto armado.Metodología Se hizo una revisión sistemática exploratoria de la literatura nacional e internacional, en idiomas inglés, español y portugués, entre los años 2000 al 2019, en PubMED, EMBASE, Google Scholar, LILACS, IBECS, SciELO; y consulta a informantes clave.Resultados Se encontró en el ámbito internacional que la principal afectación identificada se refirió a violencia sexual. Se encontraron factores de riesgo que la perpetúan, como el entorno familiar, acceso a educación, pobre infraestructura de servicios de salud entre otros. Otras afectaciones importantes derivaron en un aumento en la tasa de embarazos y matrimonios. En Colombia el panorama fue similar: las zonas con mayor afección por conflicto tienen más tasa de fecundidad, pobre acceso a atención obstétrica y pobre conocimiento de las ITS.Conclusión Se debe asegurar el acceso a servicios de salud sexual en el conflicto para prevención de enfermedades y asegurar el derecho a la salud sexual y reproductiva.
