“Every war is a war against children.” Unfortunately, one hundred years later, those words of Save the Children founder Eglantyne Jebb remain true. Right now, in conflicts across the world, children are living through unspeakable violence with devastating and life-changing consequences. Bombed, shot, starved – children’s homes and schools have become a battlefield.

No child should go through this. No matter where they’re from, every child deserves a childhood in peace. It’s up to us to listen to their voices and help stop the war on children to ensure they have the future they deserve.

Take action today to protect children from being targets in war.
