Children in war - facts and figures
More than 25 countries around the world are currently engaged in wars or armed conflicts. A war is defined as an armed conflict that is ongoing, planned, and centrally organized.
Most of the victims are civilians
In today's wars, unlike at the beginning of the 20th century, most victims are civilians, including many children. They are often killed by mines or so-called small arms, which are also exported to conflict zones by Germany, one of the world's five largest arms exporters. Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls under the age of 18 are used as child soldiers in armed conflicts in over 20 countries by state armies or non-state armed groups.
The consequences for children
Over 500 million children live in war zones or conflict areas. They suffer from fear, hunger, and disease. Around 27 million children are unable to attend school due to the armed conflict. Hospitals and schools are attacked, and humanitarian aid organizations are denied access to those in need.
