Narmina Strishenets and the Blast Injuries Report | In Their Words

Описание: Narmina Strishenets, Senior Conflict and Humanitarian Advocacy Adviser at Save the Children, shares insights from our new report on the devastating impact of explosive weapons on children between 2020 and 2025.

Our latest research shows that explosive weapons have become one of the leading causes of child deaths in conflict zones. Around the world, children are paying the highest price — harmed not only by armed groups but also by the actions and inaction of governments that should be protecting them.

🌍 What We’re Calling On World Leaders To Do:

🔴 Uphold international humanitarian and human rights law
🔴 Adopt and enforce stronger military and political policies to protect children in conflict
🔴 Ensure accountability for violations against children
🔴 Invest in victim assistance, research, rehabilitation, and long-term support for children affected by blast injuries
