When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were the children
In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
To the best of my knowledge, no war was ever started by women. But it is women and children who have always suffered most in situations of conflict.
Throughout my years championing for civil rights, analyzing politics and advocating on behalf of the voiceless, I am disturbed the most when harmless children suffer because of politics or detrimental policies.
There's very few things that tear me up and get me, but kids, especially terminally ill kids or kids with diseases... gets me every time.
Communities are suffering, children are suffering, and our immigration policy appears in disarray.
Well, I know that 500,000 children died in Iraq because of the embargo.
Too many children and adults go hungry every day.
Our human situation no longer permits us to make armed dichotomies between those who are good and those who are evil, those who are right and those who are wrong. The first blow dealt to the enemy's children will sign the death warrant of our own.
I am thankful to the Nobel committee for recognising the plight of millions of children who are suffering in this modern age.
