War Child works exclusively to improve the lives of children affected by armed conflict. 

We protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living in conflict-affected areas. We believe that children have the right to live, to develop, to be protected and to participate - and these rights are enshrined in all our programmes.  

We are committed to their protection from "all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual violence" as outlined in Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
