Still We Dream

Girls and young people living through conflict

For our State of the World’s Girls Report this year, we spoke to over 10,000 girls and boys from 10 countries afflicted by conflict.

They told us that conflict robs an entire generation of a normal, happy and safe childhood.

When conflict breaks out, everyday life – going to school, feeling safe, accessing food, water and other essentials and growing up surrounded by family and friends – changes profoundly, sometimes overnight.

Within all this devastation, conflict is felt differently by girls and boys, by young women and young men.
