Conflict Children campaignConflict Children campaign

Millions of children around the world are affected by conflict. It is estimated that 200,000-300,000 children in more than 20 countries become direct participants in war. We call them child soldiers.

First News, DFID and Save the Children have launched the Conflct Children campaign for schools. Learn more about the Conflict Children campaign.

Young people campaigning

Young people's views should be listened to and taken seriously. If they are outraged by the situation faced by millions of children around the world, then we encourage them to act for change.

Check out our young campaigners page for ideas and information to help young people get their voices heard - at schools, in their community or by governments.

Education resources

  • think about our connections with others
  • question inequalities
  • take responsibility
  • protect human rights.
