There is much hardship in our world, most of it man-made and therefore avoidable. When images of injured or starving children appear on our screens or monitors, it is understandable that many would wish to turn away. The photos are sickening. Yet to ignore the truth of what is taking place is to allow it […]
It’s a brutal reflection on any society when children are treated as commodities to be bargained and sold. The very idea of child-brides should be abhorrent to any who have an ounce of decency. Those who engage in this vile practice deserve to be flogged, flensed and locked up for a long period of time. […]
The attempted genocide of the Rohingya people by the Myanmar authorities and many of its citizens is one of the greatest crimes, so far, of this millennium. What compounds this horror is that the powers of the world who usually rush to condemn such atrocities have remained remarkably subdued. We even have the scenario whereby […]
Jospeh Kony is one of the most wanted men in Africa. He is a seriously deluded individual who has abducted countless children and indoctrinated them into his religion-inspired ‘army’. He is at war with the Ugandan government who are also brutal in their methods. Sadly, as is always the case in such conflict, it is […]
When searching for an image for the header to this piece, Rebel Voice typed into Google Free Images, ‘Palestinian boy goes to school with one leg’. No images of the scores of Palestinian children shot recently in Gaza emerged. Instead, one image popped up repeatedly of an Israeli boy who lost one of his legs […]
The scandal of the Magdalene Laundries and the orphanages of Ireland run by the Catholic Church is surely one of the most sickening episodes of history on the Emerald Isle. The Church was all-powerful and the children were its greatest victims. Members of the public may have suspected that there were serious problems, but few […]
As unpleasant as war is for adults, it is much worse for children. The young rely on grown-ups to protect them. They seek reassurance from the older members of their families and wider society. When war hits, children are left feeling even more vulnerable as there is no one to keep them safe. Parents can’t […]
The occurrence of child abuse is without doubt the greatest crime that can be perpetrated by one person against another. Children are the most trusting and vulnerable of our species. When inhumans deliberately harm them, it stands as a terrible act of inhumanity. India is a vast nation with a huge population, many of them […]
This is a great program that has been started in India by those who care about children’s welfare. Martial arts classes are being provided for all the young, including those who might not be able to access them otherwise, due to financial constraints. Training children in this way is beneficial in many ways. It creates […]
The policies of the rogue state of Israel are well known by this time. Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, intimidation, abductions and state-sponsored murder are all tactics warmly embraced by the Zionist regime as it moves to annex all of Palestine. Yet there is one more strategy that Israel uses in it supremacist approach to Middle East […]
The genocide being perpetrated against the Rohingya minority of Myanmar is known but was not as well shared as it should have been. Although the most serious abuse has petered out, there is still the not inconsequential matter of how the Rohingya refugees are being treated. Foremost among these victims of Myanmar oppression and brutality […]
When Rebel Voice reads about children that have died from avoidable causes, a wave of despair washes over this site. In Ireland, children are becoming obese because their (often financially strapped) parents feed them cheap processed crap, and don’t take the time to go outside to enjoy nature and partake in exercise. Additionally, food products […]
