State of the World's Mothers 2003

In commemoration of Mother's Day, Save the Children is publishing its fourth annual State of the World’s Mothers report. By focusing on the tens of millions of mothers and children whose lives have been disrupted by war and armed conflict, this report helps to bring attention to the critical protection needs in war-torn communities around the world. It also suggests actions required to support women who are raising the world’s future generations under the most horrific conditions imaginable, and to shield children from the most brutal excesses of war.
