In our last blog, to commemorate Victory in Europe day, we
shared snippets from the memoir of Mrs Prince who had been a child of war in
Britain during the Second World War. We
were thankful to have her story included in our exhibition this year. There
were striking similarities in her story with some of the experiences of
children in war zones today - abandonment, scarcity of resources, loss of loved
ones, fear of being bombed and having a war zone as a playground.
As we mentioned in our last blog Rights
of Children can often be overlooked and with
approximately 415 million children growing up in war zones, global society
needs to continue to invest in the protection and welfare of these
children.
