TAC War Zone – the start of an international information bank about vulnerable people in areas of conflict. Help needed
Launched in October 2014, the TAC War Zone is intended as a growing collection of information and resources on the broad subject of:
- vulnerable adults and children in conflict zones
- vulnerable adults and children in refugee populations
- children and adults made vulnerable, ill or disabled by war
These children and adults are almost never counted, considered or catered for. The TAC War Zone is an attempt to draw attention to them and provide a starting place for people wanting to know more for their work, study, writing or campaigning.
In launching the TAC War Zone I am indebted to:
- Joan Marston, Chief Executive, International Children's Palliative Care Network, S. Africa
- Brigitte Rohwerder, Social Development Research Officer, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK
- Nicola Grove, Honorary research fellow, Department of Language and Communication Science, City University, UK

We start by letting it be known that Ebola can be a survival story. To enable survival, we need to ensure consistent access to medicines, labs, and supportive care. Through this improved quality of care—one that focuses on support rather than quarantine—we can combat fear and stigma.
