War Affected Children

In the decade since the adoption of the CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD, more than 2 million children have been killed and more than 6 million injured or disabled in armed conflicts. 15 million children have been displaced within their countries or made refugees. Between 1985 and 1995, 12 million lost their homes as a result of war. In 1995 alone, 53 million people- one out of every 115 people on earth- were uprooted from their homes, either displaced within their countries or refugees across borders. Women and children usually comprise 80% of the refugee and displaced populations. Presently 300,000 children are fighting some one else's war.
