World War Orphans Day 2022 is held on January 6 to bring attention to the harsh conditions war orphans experience.
The goal of World Day of War Orphans 2022 is to raise awareness about the need to defend the human rights of war orphans and to secure a better future for them. Pandemics have the most impact on orphan children, hence the day is most relevant then. This day reminds us that caring for children in the harshest conditions is a duty, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 6th of January is World Day of War Orphans to raise awareness about their predicament and the horrific conditions they experience.
Who are orphans?
A UNICEF orphan is a child under 18 who has lost one or both parents to any cause.
UNICEF estimates there were 140 million orphans globally in 2015, with 61 million in Asia, 52 million in Africa, 10 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 7.3 million in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Meaning of World Day of War Orphans 2022
UNICEF statistics shows that in 18th, 19th, and early 20th century wars, roughly half of the deaths were civilians, and this number climbed until 2001. Since then, the number has fallen 0.7% annually.
In World War II, two-thirds of the victims were civilians; by the 1980s, 90% were.
From the data, it’s evident that war has affected populations in various nations. Kids are the silent sufferers. Millions of youngsters grew up in war and ethnic turmoil without family. The orphans must also care for their younger siblings (if any).
So, the day spotlights the issue of orphans and urges us to care for all children.
