The Wider Image: Ukraine seeks to trace thousands of ‘orphans’

Tanya (second right), a 12-year-old autistic girl who does not speak, watches other children play at a facility for people with special needs, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in Odesa, Ukraine, June 7, 2022. Tanya, like nine in 10 of the children in Ukraine’s orphanage system, is a “social orphan” – children whose parents are unable to care for them or denied parental rights under Ukrainian law.
