Devastating Year for Children
December 31, 2014
The net of the sleeper catches fish.
-Greek Proverb

The year 2014 has been one of horror, fear, and despair for millions of children as worsening conflicts across the world saw them exposed to extreme violence and its consequences, forcibly recruited and deliberately targeted by warring groups, UNICEF has reported.  Yet many crises no longer capture the world’s attention, warned the children’s agency.

“This has been a devastating year for millions of children,” said Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director.  “Children have been killed while studying in the classroom and while sleeping in their beds; they have been orphaned, kidnapped, tortured, recruited, raped, and even sold as slaves.  Never in recent memory have so many children been subjected to such unspeakable brutality.”
