World Day of War Orphans is observed every year on January 6 to highlight the plight of children orphaned by wars and conflicts. The day aims to raise awareness about the trauma experienced by orphans and the social, psychological and physical obstacles they often need to overcome to lead a normal life. Every child deserves a home where they feel safe and comfortable. However, war orphans don’t just lose their parents, they lose every sense of normalcy they knew since childhood. Many of them have to deal with the trauma of seeing their parents, relatives and neighbours dying. Others bear physical wounds as a constant reminder of the conflict that upended their lives.
