You know, when war and oppression breaks out as it regularly does, it is heart-breaking to see images of adult civilians being persecuted, oppressed and often killed. But when those victims are children, the most vulnerable people on our planet, the situation then becomes intolerable. Adults can fight back, even if in fighting they die. […]
This is a beautifully poignant song about the terrible way many children were deprived of the chance to enjoy their youthful innocence. It speaks of the young boys who were sent down the mines from a very young age. Many boys were, perhaps, enthused with the idea of joining their fathers, and uncles and older […]
House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz Just when you thought that modern incarnations of Sherlock Holmes were forever to be consigned to the medium of film, along comes Anthony Horowitz, with permission from the Conan Doyle estate, to resurrect the Don of Logic in literary form. (This review contains spoilers) In this adventure, Holmes is […]
This site has long tried to highlight the terror that the rogue state of Israel inflicts upon the children of Palestine. Whether it’s abducting them, intimidating them, closing down their schools, beating them, shooting them, bombing them and otherwise murdering them, Israel is never to be found wanting when it comes to the destruction of […]
This is one of the most shocking stories to have emerged from the United States in recent times. Children of migrants/refugees to the USA were taken/abducted from their parents and placed in custody by the US Federal authorities. Many of these young ones were little more than babies. The children were placed in wire cages. […]
Rebel Voice becomes nauseated every time a report emerges of further suffering heaped upon children around our world. Surely there can be no greater crime than to facilitate the abuse, whether directly or indirectly, of the young. Starvation, exposure, violence, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, preventable diseases, it appears to be never-ending. As we observe […]
As terrible as any armed conflict is, there are additional hidden costs to the societies involved that are often overlooked. As someone who grew up in a war-zone, I have observed and experienced the effects of constant aggression as warring sides fight for supremacy. There is the public face of war; the bombs and bullets; […]
Her name is Buthaina Mansur and she is from Yemen. In 2017, Saudi Arabian warplanes bombed her home killing her entire family. Images of the little girl, with extensive injuries to her face, reached the hearts of millions across the globe. She was seen trying desperately to open one of her badly swollen eyes so […]

Rebel Voice has repeatedly broached the subject of child abuse across the planet. It is our position on this site that there is nothing more abhorrent than the deliberate harming of a child, whether such abuse is physical, emotional, psychological or sexual. The newspapers and TV screens are filled with horrific stories of how the […]
The scandal of the abducted children of illegal immigrants to the USA is one which will not and should not go away. People such as the TV and movie star, Alyssa Milano, are still campaigning for action to be taken to return these children to their parents and families. It is shocking to think that children […]
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 […]
