World Day of War Orphans is observed annually on January 6 to highlight the challenges faced by children who have lost one or both parents due to wars and armed conflicts. The day emphasizes the emotional, physical, and social hardships of war orphans, calling for global attention to their protection, rehabilitation, and education. Initiated by the French organization SOS Enfants en Détresses, this observance encourages governments and civil society to provide humanitarian aid, safe spaces, and policy support, while raising awareness about the compounded difficulties faced by children in conflict zones, including vulnerability to exploitation and climate-related crises.
