Críticas:
'The stories and images in this book are both challenging and tragic. They tell how eight landmines in my own country, Mozambique, prevented more than 20,000 people from returning to their villages in the Mahinca valley for seven years. They tell of the exploitation of girls as soldiers and sexual slaves [A...] The book charts the rise of HIV/AIDS as the single most powerful new factor compounding the dangers for children in armed conflict.' -Graca Machel
Reseña del editor:
Graca Machel, UNICEF's special rapporteur, also scrutinises sexual crimes in time of war, the fate of orphans, the disproportionate suffering of children endure in civil wars, and their special vulnerability to such side-effects of conflict as famine, disease and social fragmentation. "The Impact of War on Children" is an urgent call to action-for the commitment and tenacity needed to protect children from the atrocities of war. Children present a uniquely compelling motivation for mobilisation, and an opportunity to confront the problems that cause their suffering. This book is complemented by 16 evocative photographs by Sebastiao Salgado, a documentary photographer of world renown, covering Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Rwanda and elsewhere.
