A man walks past a cardboard cut-out of a schoolgirl armed with a weapon at Melbourne’s Southern Cross train station, and which is part of a national campaign by the Red Cross to raise awareness of the plight of civilians in war zones around the world, on February 16, 2010. Confronting, life-sized images of tortured victims, child soldiers and land mines have been posted at railway stations in all Australian capital cities. Helen Durham from the Red Cross says the campaign is designed to be thought-provoking and educational. ‘They’re confronting issues, they’re very difficult issues to talk about in a soft and gentle way,’ she said.
