War Child UK have just released an innovative, thought-provoking video, 'Duty of Care: Protecting Children in War', which subverts first-person shooting games by showing the horror of war through the eyes of Nima, a nine-year-old girl. The scenarios in the gaming-style video, including witnessing the shooting of a parent, are drawn from real-life testimonies of children in War Child's projects across Africa and the Middle East.
A shocking new statistic released by the child protection charity reveals that less than 3% of humanitarian funding is spent on protecting children in war zones, despite them making up more than 50% of the population. The HELP campaign is targeting the upcoming World Humanitarian Summit, which will determine the fates of millions of children worldwide, to ensure that this unjust disparity is addressed.
