Take Action to Stop the War on Children

Today, nearly one-fifth of children worldwide are caught up in conflict — more than double what it was 30 years ago.

Every day, bombs destroy children's homes and schools. Their friends are shot and injured. Their families are killed. There isn't anywhere they feel safe.

War-makers, whether state-military or armed groups, make deliberate decisions that can harm and kill children. They deny children life-saving aid, recruit them as child soldiers, bomb their schools and hospitals, rape, kill and maim them.

Sign our petition to ask the Government of Canada to push for justice for these children, to end support to war-makers who attack civilians, and to support children's protection and recovery.
Dear [Decision Maker],

Nearly one in five children around the world are caught up in conflict zones. That's double what it was 30 years ago. 

War-makers, whether state-military or armed groups, make deliberate decisions that can harm and kill children. They deny children life-saving aid, recruit them as child soldiers, bomb their schools and hospitals, rape, kill and maim them. These horrendous acts are an affront to our humanity and the wider scandal is that many governments are failing to take action and in some cases, even support these war-makers.

That's why we urgently need you to take action and Stop the War on Children. The Government of Canada must push for justice for these children, to end support to war-makers who attack civilians, and to support children's protection and recovery.

Though we may not be the ones inflicting blows or dropping bombs, the lack of attention to these children makes us complicit. That's why we're urging the Canadian government to:


  • Take concrete action and implement existing commitments to protect schools and school children from attack and to help stop the use of child soliders

  • Refuse to sell or export weapons or provide military assistance to countries and groups that target children

  • Pursue justice and accountability for people who commit violence against children

  • Protect the rights if people in conflict zones to document and report on cases of abuse and attacks against boys and girls

  • Provide funding to support the different needs of boys and girls in conflict zones, especially access to education.


We urgently need you to speak out today and Stop the War on Children. Together, we can protect the world's children from the horrors of conflict.

Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
