    UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

    Adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 217A (III) of 10 December 1948

    Sometimes I dream that I have two legs again. Hello! I am Song Kosol. I am a little girl from Cambodia and I am twelve years old. Years ago, when I was very small, I went to play with my friends close to my house. All of a sudden ÎBOOM1, cries, terror. The whole of my right leg was blown off...Until two years ago, I walked on one leg with crutches. One day a car visited my village and they told me they could give me an artificial leg. They took me with many other amputees to a prosthetic center and there we received our new legs. I feel more comfortable with my friend the crutch, so sometimes I leave my leg at home.2

    Banning land mines!

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "gender-based inequity is usually exacerbated during situations of extreme violence such as armed conflict." Women and girls in particular experience conflict and displacement in different ways from men because of the gender division of roles and responsibilities. The targeting of women and girls by armed forces further exacerbates the situation.
