You're on ThinkProgress' tumblr, where Patrick Smith, Dylan Petrohilos, and the team at ThinkProgress have you covered. Like what you see? Visit our website.

About 50 million children — or roughly one in every 45 kids in the world — are currently displaced globally, many of whom have been uprooted by violent wars and persecution. Some are called “refugees.” Others are called “migrants.” Some have been memorialized in splashy photos of lifeless bodies found adrift in the Mediterranean Sea. Still other children barely make it out alive, too young to understand the machinations of war, but now too aware to escape trauma.
