Monday at home but.....


I am well impressed with the internet and social media with livestreaming of conferences.  Today while the washing on the go was sat on my sofa taking part in this conference looking at Children in Conflict. So on a cold rainy day in West London was able to be part of this without going out.
Description
Children and adolescents bear the brunt of war and armed conflict. From Syria to South Sudan, thousands of today’s young people will be exposed to protracted crises and suffer the after-effects well beyond childhood. Children’s and adolescents’ psychosocial well-being is at great risk from exposure to violence, and the violations of their rights as a result of armed conflict can have devastating effects on their trajectory from adolescence into adulthood.
