War Child UK

This Mother's Day, we honour mothers protecting childhoods in conflict. Sudanese mother smiling with her son and daughter.

Motherhood is being shaped by conditions of war no parent should ever have to face.

A Mother’s care is constant, complex and often invisible.

This Mother’s day we recognise the courageous act of caregiving mothers do to protect childhoods.

Inside the shelters supporting families fleeing the war in Lebanon Across 28 shelters, War Child and its partners are providing children and families with safety, care and support.

Across Lebanon, fleeing families are sleeping wherever they can - classrooms, temporary shelters and community buildings. War Child and our partners are helping run shelters where they can sleep, eat, and regain a small sense of safety. Read more: https://bit.ly/3P9WUvC

Children in Lebanon are fleeing in fear. Tonight over 200,000 children will be sleeping on classroom floors, in overcrowded shelters, with relatives, or on the streets - anywhere but home.

He Was Fifteen and They Offered Him a Gun Children should never be a strategy of war.

We need collective action. Most of all, we need our political leaders to take a stand. We have to renew our commitment to international law and the rights of children – wherever and whenever they are being violated.

Conflict robs children of safety, education, healthcare, and hope - and the consequences for many will last a lifetime. But it doesn't have to be this way.
