This video contains graphic footage of human rights abuses
The music video exposes the extent of human rights violations cased by warfare as well as the predicaments faced by women and children during wars. It is a clarion call to stop wars that continue to recruit children.
A global human rights campaign to stop wars as 'war is by definition a means of violating human rights.' This is a creative way to put a subject that is so important to humanity, and yet so often disregarded. The impact of war on women and children and society as a whole is so huge. This is a scathing and creative approach to help salve the problems of wars by vindicating the truth about both the victims, perpetrators and actors.
In collaboration with a young musician and Sierra Leonean activist living in Germany, known musically as Genda, iEARN Sierra Leone carries its mission through this very creative vehicle
