War violates every right of a child - the right to life, the right to be with family and community, the right to health, the right to the development of the personality and the right to be nurtured and protected. When children become targets of war we know that humanity cannot sink to lower depths. Children simply must have no part in warfare. The international community must denounce this attack on children for what it is - intolerable and unacceptable. The aim of this website is to help educate and rouse the international community to make change.
Children can help.
Children are a unifying force in our world, capable of bringing people to common grounds. Children are both our reason to struggle to eliminate the worst aspects of warfare, and our best hope for succeeding at it. As a first step in declaring children as zones of peace, the United Nations created The Declaration of the Rights of the Child . It was a start but much work is left to be done. All rights reserved.
