[UNICEF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-kingdoms) recently released a [short film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shooting) that urges world leaders to protect children from violence. In many parts of the world, children face the constant threat of war and physical violence. This thought-provoking video aims to convey the need to protect children from these crises.

'The World Upside Down' video campaign was created by the London-based design agency 'Don’t Panic.' The video shows an ordinary family enjoying a day out at the park. However, the film takes a dark turn when it turns the family's lives upside down and reveals how different their day would be if they lived in a different part of the world. UNICEF plans to add additional content to the video and include the experiences of real children. These stories cover everything from [child trafficking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-childrens-villages-portugal) to child refugees.

With one in 10 of the world's children living in a conflict zone, the film urges the UK government to do more to protect children from violence.
