Protecting the innocents

(ES)

No more bombs will explode from now on.
Not a single shot will keep you awake.
No more tears or cries.
Nobody will desecrate our home.

Sleep quiet, honey.
Sleep without fear.
Curled up in my chest, my fingers through her curls.
Sleep in peace, only the moon and the stars in the sky.

Sigh...
And every sigh,
a breath of fresh air
that encourages to keep fighting;
winds of revolution.
Amid such horror and misery,
THE HOPE

“As the eyes of the world focus on the mounting violence in Syria, we must not overlook the fact that while children are not responsible for this tragedy, they’re paying a terrible price. Children are losing their lives, losing their homes, losing their parents and losing their schooling."

Anthony Lake - UNICEF Executive Director

 

“Children fleeing violence in Syria are at risk of suffering long-term distress without appropriate care”“Right now, the Child Friendly Spaces are sufficient for 2,500 children in Za’atari. In just a few months, we expect as many as 35,000 children will be at the camp, so we urgently need to provide additional safe places and other support to protect these children who have already suffered so much.”

Dominique Hyde - UNICEF Jordan Representative

 

But not only armed conflicts are hitting childhood, so do the austerity measures taken by european governments as the Spanish in response to the economic crisis, as reflected in the UNICEF report "Childhood in Spain 2012-2013: the impact of the crisis on children."

In Spain, 2.2 million children live in homes below the poverty line, 10% more than in 2008.

 

Let us protect the innocents, beacuse they are our only hope.
