"Stolen Childhood" is the title of a report published on 30 May by the NGO Save the Children which states that at least 700 million children in the world are having their childhood interrupted too quickly. The criteria used are the severe under-five mortality and malnutrition rates, primary and secondary school drop-outs, working children, early marriages and childbirths and, of course, children displaced or killed as a result of a conflict. The remaining 20 places are reserved for countries where most children are flying childhood, according to the report. Places occupied only by African countries.
