Children in Conflict

As the number of youth in the region continues to rise, it is imperative that we invest in a region that provides them with hope, opportunity and a context to flourish. Tragically, this future is at risk. The conflicts occurring across the region have a high civilian mortality rate, significant portions of which are children. We need to remember that these numbers have faces, and stories.

To draw attention to the scale of child suffering and mortality due to violent conflict in the region, WANA is partnering with the Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights to create an online photographic tribute to the children who lost their lives in the summer of 2014. Over the coming year, WANA will continue to work with NGOs across the region to build and maintain this tribute wall to remember all children who have lost their lives to conflict across the region.

The full tribute wall will be available in English and Arabic next week.
