Belgium, Artist: Katheline Toumpsin, Title: Les enfants dans la guerre 

La guerre n’épargne pas les enfants. La pauvreté les force à quitter leur enfance bien tôt : obligés à travailler plutôt que d’aller à l’école ou de jouer. Enfants soldats à l’âge de 8 ans, orphelins, enfants abandonnés… Ils sont des millions à grandir dans la violence et l’impunité. La bombe à retardement est amorcée…  Pourtant, la mobilisation s’organise. Des centres d’accueil et de formation se développent : on y apprend à lire, écrire, compter, et surtout, à vivre ensemble, de 0 à 18 ans.  

Légende photo 1 : la porte d’entrée du Centre d’accueil de Goma. Ce centre accueille des enfants soldats démobilisés, des orphelins, garçons et filles. Les enfants y vont à l’école, et peuvent y apprendre un métier, tel que cuisinier, mécanicien, menuisier, forgeron…

 Belgium, Artist: Katheline Toumpsin Title: Un pays malade 

La guerre détruit les infrastructures publiques, la mauvaise gestion du pays empêche qu’elles soient rapidement reconstruites, et la pauvreté de la population les empêche d’avoir recours à un médecin privé. L’infrastructure médicale, prise ici en exemple, reflète l’état de santé du pays : malade et gangrené.

Belgium, Artist: Katheline Toumpsin, Title:Femmes, violence et pauvreté 

Etre femme en période de guerre signifie bien souvent devoir subvenir seule aux besoins des enfants dans un climat d’insécurité grave. Viols, enlèvements, pillages, de nombreuses femmes sont la cible des conflits. Piliers de la société africaine, la femme incarne son développement, mais aussi son talon d’Achille. Lorsque le viol devient une arme de guerre, le virus du SIDA donne la garantie de dépeupler les collines sur moins d’une génération. 

 Pourtant, des femmes se mobilisent. Des centres de formation et de réinsertion par le travail se développent, des réseaux de commerce se mettent en place. Elles osent témoigner aussi de ce qui leur arrive, dans l’espoir que ces violences ne restent pas impunies.  

Légende photo 3 : A Aprofime, centre de formation pour jeunes filles mères, Maman Espérance apprend à ses élèves à coudre. Ces jeunes filles mères, victimes de viols, sont rejetées par leurs communautés d’origine, et devront apprendre à se débrouiller seule avec leur enfant.

weden, Artist: Anders Gustavsson, Barnfattigdomen ökar i Sverige (2008)

For more than a 100 years these flower-pins have been sold in Sweden greeting the month of May. But the purpose was serious. The funds collected helped easying the suffering of poor children. For some decades this objective got blurred, and the sale of the flowers became meerly nostalgic. But today the organization "Majblomman", who organizes the sale of the flower-pins, is alarmed by the rise in child-poverty in modern Sweden. This video is a part of a series on the new poverty produced by TV4 Nyheterna in Göteborg, Sweden.

England and Wales, Artist: Marcin Mazur, Title: "Walk on by" Remarks:Westminster is the political heart of London. It is also where the MotherChurch of England and Wales is situated – just off Victoria Street. Further down the road you find the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and
Methodist Central Hall. Marcin took these two photographs on Victoria Street
– a stone’s throw from Westminster Cathedral. Why did he focus on feet? He
felt the images powerfully represented urban poverty in a fast-paced,
commercially-driven world. Many millions of people pass through London every
day but are often too busy to pay attention to those in desperate need right
on their doorstep.
