DW: 415 million children grow up in war zones, Save the Children reports
Children face a greater risk than ever before of growing up surrounded by war, sexual abuse and recruitment into armed groups, a study by the charity Save the Children reported. Children in Africa are the most affected.
Nearly one in six children around the world — 415 million children in all — were living in a conflict zone in 2018, more than double the figure recorded in 1995, according to a report released Thursday by Save the Children.
"It's staggering that the world stands by while children are targeted with impunity," the charity's chief executive Inger Ashing said in a statement. "Since 2005, at least 95,000 children were recorded to have been killed or maimed, tens of thousands of children abducted, and millions of children denied access to education or health services after their hospitals were attacked."

The graph is obviously wrong. The criteria were created by wanton professional prostitutes of no particular skill. Libya is not on the graph?
Burma?
North Korea?
China?
There are lots of rapes in North Korea in concentration camps. There are also over 1,000 people dying a year in in these camps.
Ukraine?
Malmo?
Did they have an accurate count in Cameroon?
I like the criterion of the 1,000 threshold. It is a big round number. It is the type of argument Dogbert would use.
You can make huge demographic shifts with killing less than 1,000 people. It is why they came up with the definition of terrorism.
There are places like Algeria where they have killed over a 1,000 people per year. It is lower now (that we know of), but it is percolating.
