World Day of War Orphans 2022: Every year 6 January is observed as World War Orphans Day. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the day has become even more relevant. Global disasters, such as a pandemic, are sure to have the greatest impact on orphans. World War Orphans Day 2022 reminds the world that it is a duty to take care of children in dire circumstances, especially in a pandemic situation. Children who have been wounded in shootings or separated from their families need special care to heal the mental wounds of war, start school, and resume normal life.
World War Orphans Day is celebrated to draw attention to the condition of children orphaned as a result of war or any other conflict. Young people facing starvation, rehabilitation, inadequate health care and poor education become one of the most vulnerable populations. Orphaned children are constantly subjected to social and emotional discrimination.
World Day of War Orphans: History and Significance
The French organization SOS Enfants en Detresses established World War Orphans Day. The day has given communities around the world an opportunity to address the plight of war orphans. It has developed into a global humanitarian and social catastrophe which is getting worse day by day.
According to UNICEF estimates, the number of orphans in affluent countries is very low. However, their numbers are much greater in areas affected by wars and major diseases. By another estimate, World War II left millions of orphans in Europe, including more than 300,000 in Poland and over 200,000 in Yugoslavia alone. The day aims to remember war orphans and make people aware of their obligation to support youth in distressed places.
You can honor the day by distributing information about war orphans on social media and urging your friends to repost or share it. Donate war relief funds and express your views on the need to protect war orphans. You can also donate to their welfare or by giving shelter to war orphans where they can be taken care of.
