Amazon.com description: Product Description: In 1994 the United Nations asked Graça Machel to produce a report on the impact of armed conflict on children. Her groundbreaking study provided the first human rights assessment of war-affected children. This book, published in conjunction with UNICEF, presents the original findings, documents the actions that have been taken to date, and catalogs the horrific levels of violence still affecting millions of children today. Machel looks at child soldiers, the 20 million internally displaced and refugee children world wide, child victims of landmines, AIDS, sexual exploitation, and the psychological consequences of war on the very young. The book is complemented by 20 evocative photos by Sebastião Salgado, the world's greatest documentary photographer.
