Focusing on the full scope of childhood, from birth through young adulthood, this edited volume examines a myriad of issues: early childhood socialization in war and peace; education, literacy, vocational training, and apprenticeship; refugee life; mental and physical health, including disabilities and nutrition; children?s songs, folktales, and art; sports and play; orphans; life on the streets; child labor and children as family breadwinners; child soldiers and militarization; sexual exploitation; growing up in prison; marriage; family violence; and other issues vital to understanding, empowerment, and transformation. Children of Afghanistan is the first volume that not only attempts to analyze the range of challenges facing Afghan children across class, gender, and region but also offers solutions to the problems they face. With nearly half of the population under the age of fifteen, the future of the country no doubt lies with its children. Those who seek peace for the region must find solutions to the host of crises that have led the United Nations to call Afghanistan ?the worst place on earth to be born.? The authors of Children of Afghanistan provide child-centered solutions to rebuilding the country?s cultural, social, and economic institutions. 410 0$aLouann Atkins Temple Women and Culture Series 606 $aChildren$zAfghanistan$xSocial conditions 606 $aChild welfare$zAfghanistan 607 $aAfghanistan$xSocial conditions 615 0$aChildren$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aChild welfare 676 $a305.2309581 686 $aMS 1960$2rvk 702 $aHeath$b Jennifer 702 $aZahedi$b Ashraf$f1947- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813698703321 996 $aChildren of Afghanistan$94038262 997 $aUNINA
