Millions of people across the world have been displaced or live in exile and/or as refugees largely as a consequence of wars, acts of terrorism, and catastrophic natural disasters. There are serious psychological consequences as a result of these extremely difficult life circumstances. Adults often can express their needs and have them be heard, whereas children are unable to do so. The children may be provided food, shelter, and clothing and have their medical needs attended to, but their emotional and psychological needs go unrecognized and unmet, with dire and monumental long-term consequences.
全球数百万人因战争、恐怖主义行为和灾难性自然灾害而流离失所,或流亡和/或成为难民。这些极其艰难的生活状况造成了严重的心理后果。成年人通常能够表达自己的需求并被倾听,而儿童却无法做到。儿童可能会得到食物、住所和衣物,医疗需求也会得到照顾,但他们的情感和心理需求却得不到认可和满足,从而产生可怕且重大的长期后果。
