| Description: |
Children present a uniquely compelling motivation for mobilisation, and an opportunity to confront the problems that cause their suffering. This work calls to action - for the commitment and tenacity needed to protect children from the atrocities of war. It is complemented by 16 photographs covering Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Rwanda. |
| Synopsis: |
Graca Machel, UNICEF's special rapporteur, also scrutinises sexual crimes in time of war, the fate of orphans, the disproportionate suffering of children endure in civil wars, and their special vulnerability to such side-effects of conflict as famine, disease and social fragmentation. "The Impact of War on Children" is an urgent call to action-for the commitment and tenacity needed to protect children from the atrocities of war. Children present a uniquely compelling motivation for mobilisation, and an opportunity to confront the problems that cause their suffering. This book is complemented by 16 evocative photographs by Sebastiao Salgado, a documentary photographer of world renown, covering Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Rwanda and elsewhere. |
