Children and armed conflict

Over the last several decades, the face of war has changed dramatically as civilians are increasingly targeted. Children are the primary victims of armed conflict and their suffering wears many faces. More than two million children have been killed in war zones over the past two decades, according to www. securitycouncilreport.org. Another six million have been maimed or permanently disabled. Countless more children have been made orphans, abducted, deprived of education and healthcare, and left with deep emotional scars.
