Children in Crisis offered an insight into the conflict in Darfur through the eyes of children. It was the result of a collaboration between Human Rights Watch and iceandfire theatre.

In early 2003 the Janjaweed, the pro-government Arab militia, started a campaign against the native population of Darfur in Sudan. Since then, two million people have fled their homes and 200,000 have been killed.

The drawings in this exhibition were created by children from Darfur. They showed the children's response to their experience of this conflict.

There were also images of the children in Darfur and adults who are now refugees in London.
