"Every war is a war against Children" was what Eglantyne Jebb, SCF's founder said a century ago in 1919. Following the end of World War I Jebb stood in London’s Trafalgar Square campaigning against the British blockade of Germany and Austria. She distributed a leaflet showing the emaciated children and declaring: “Our blockade has caused this, – millions of children are starving to death.” She was arrested, tried, convicted, and fined. But the judge in the case was moved by her commitment to children and paid her fine. His generosity was Save the Children’s first donation.
