Abstract :

Children are not the cause of armed conflict, but they have always suffered a lot in this regard in various ways. Therefore, since the largest share of injuries caused by armed conflict is to this group of civilians, therefore, humanitarian organizations and institutions and governments have thought of supporting this vulnerable group. Children make up half of the victims of international and non-international (domestic) armed conflict. According to statistics, in more than 36 countries, children have been victims of armed conflict. Today, most of the armed conflicts are internal and the rate of destruction, violence and injuries to children and human casualties is very high and terrible.
