Thirty-two wars are now being waged around the world. One in four children worldwide lives in one of these dangerous situations. Some 20,000 girls and women were raped during the conflict in the former Yugoslavia in 1992 alone. And in Liberia, 7-year-old children were found fighting in combat. It is clear that a crisis of this magnitude requires a massive response. Save the Children is launching the One World, One Wish campaign to stop atrocities such as organized rape and the use of child soldiers by getting our government to set aside funds for the protection of women and children in conflicts.
