250 million children live in countries affected by conflict, with tens of thousands recruited into armed forces and groups. According to the United Nations, some children are as young as eight years old. Yet only 2.5% of the UK government’s humanitarian spending goes on ending violence against children.
We worked with World Vision to open their audience’s eyes to the reality of violence against children. The campaign resulted in 5,000 petition signatures, calling on the UK DfiD to increase the proportion of humanitarian aid spend on ending violence against children in emergencies.
