The alarming increase in the use of explosive weapons in populated areas is a leading cause of child casualties in conflicts around the world. Let’s #ProtectChildrenInConflict together. unicef.link/4fAtGiz
Killing and maiming children is a grave violation.

We must protect children and their rights in conflict.
This deadly new normal can change when we advocate for children. 

For example, 88 countries around the world have committed to stop using explosive weapons in populated areas – a cause of over 70% of all incidents of killing and maiming.

Together, we can do more to protect children in conflict.
TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND THEIR RIGHTS IN CONFLICT 
 
Every day, children in conflict zones around the world continue to come under attack.  
We must reject this deadly new normal.  
 
Here are a few ways to protect children in conflict:  
 
Keep yourself informed through credible sources: 
Access to accurate information is critical to understanding the realities children face in wars. Follow credible sources that prioritize evidence and voices on the ground.  
 
Reach out to your elected leaders:  
Demand that leaders protect children in conflict by contacting them via email, phone, social media or other avenues.  
 
Support individuals and organizations:  
Donate, sign up for emails, share posts and amplify the voices and experiences of those directly impacted by conflict and trusted organizations working for children's protection. 
 
Keep taking action:  
Advocating for and with children is an everyday responsibility. We will never give up on children. Join us.
