IAPSRS statment on Russian invasion of Ukraine

As a civic society, we believe that continuous war is destroying lives and undermining previous humanitarian efforts. We strongly condemn any kind of aggressive actions against civilians especially children.

Wars exacerbate social challenges and the vulnerability of human communities. Poverty, sexual harassment of women, and child abuse are just some of the catastrophic outcomes of war.

It is worth mentioning that there is no difference between the lives of a children in different countries and regions. Therefore, limiting the peaceful actions to address some specific regions based on nationality, race or religion is another form of discrimination and thus not acceptable.
