The Father's Mantle, 27 May 2025 From the series Children of the War After years of living in war, home no longer feels like a place where children can feel safe. Eleven-year-old Martha started wearing her father's clothes to feel safe in an uncertain world. She found comfort in their familiar scent and weight, as if they could bring a part of him closer. For Martha it became her way of feeling protected. For many Ukrainian families, home is no longer defined by a house or a country, but by the people they love and miss.
