Georgette Mulheir：孤兒院的悲劇

Separating children from their families and placing them in large institutions inflicts deep, lasting harm on their development and mental health. Even in so-called 'show' orphanages, babies lie silent and unstimulated, missing out on critical brain growth. Over 95 percent of institutionalized children in Europe and Central Asia have living parents, but poverty, disability, and lack of support force families apart. Shifting resources to family and community-based support not only heals children but also costs far less than institutional care.
