The Smallest Witnesses: The conflict in Darfur through childrens' eyes, 2003
4 linear feetDrawings collected during a recent Human Rights Watch mission to refugee camps along Darfur's border with Chad, after HRW researchers gave children pens and crayons to draw while their families were being interviewed. Without prompting or guidance, the children produced vivid and disturbing scenes of the violence and atrocities they had witnessed: attacks by the Janjaweed militias, aerial bombings, rapes, the destruction of villages and the refugees' flight to Chad. The children's drawings corroborate in chilling detail the eye-witness testimonies about crimes against humanity in Darfur that Human Rights Watch has been documenting for months, and thus represent a valuable graphic record of the ongoing human rights crisis.
