Explanation:
These are extraordinary times. The lives of children all over the world are being turned upside down as health systems buckle, borders close, and schools and businesses shutter under the pressure of the global health crisis. All children are affected by the pandemic, but the most vulnerable children are disproportionately affected. We must act now to support each other. COVID-19 binds us together. Solidarity binds us together.
Photographers in countries around the world are at home with their families in lockdown in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. These are some of their stories as they turn their lenses on themselves and their families.

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA – Nera looks through the window and once again asks why she can’t go out. Her photographer father, Haris Calkic, has been a single parent since Nera’s mother passed away two years ago. For millions of children across the world, life has changed dramatically in the past few weeks. Nera wants to run to the park, play hide and seek, pick flowers and dance on the grass.

ITALY – (Left to right) Mattia plays at home with his brothers Riccardo and Filippo. Photographer Giovanni Diffidenti lives next door to the boys, who are all living with a disability, in Lombardy, a hotspot in the COVID-19 global outbreak. Speaking of the need to invent new things that can dispel boredom, “the danger is to see the light of curiosity, the desire to experiment and the magic of discovering new things vanish in the eyes of children,” Giovanni says. “Now it is up to parents amid a thousand difficulties to try to fill our children.”

DENMARK – Vester, at one of the many empty playgrounds in Copenhagen. Normally, all the playgrounds in the inner city would be filled at this time, but most people are staying at home. For photographer and father Peter Hove Olesen, caring for a young son and working two full-time jobs is normally a bit of a puzzle. But when all universities, schools and kindergartens closed, “a few thousand pieces were added to that puzzle,” Peter explains. His photo dairy grew as Vester’s world changed. “Maybe he won’t remember a thing from all this. He is mostly concerned about what we should play next and if the Easter bunny left any candy.” But lately, Peter has been explaining why they can’t see Vester’s friends and that he can’t just play with the other children at the playground. “I know, Dad,” Vester says. “Because then we might get sick.”
