More children risk losing their childhood by the time Covid-19 pandemic is brought under control unless remedial measures are quickly taken, a new report warns.

The report follows a study jointly by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR) and the Joining Forces Alliance which brings together six different non-state actors.
