The document discusses the use of child soldiers in Sierra Leone during the country's 11-year civil war from 1991 to 2002. Thousands of children's lives were devastated as they were forced to fight for rebel groups like the Revolutionary United Front. The children were subjected to horrific acts of violence, torture, and destruction and left scarred by the memories of war. Many were orphaned or separated from their families. While some children have since been rehabilitated and reunited with loved ones, many remain plagued by the trauma of their experiences as child soldiers in the conflict.

Gone are days when boys are made of "snips and snails and puppy dog tails" and girls are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice"... or are they? We are barraged with messages about gender and heterosexual norms everywhere we go - our homes, our schools, the media, and more. Do you know what hidden lessons they are teaching? How do gender and sexuality affect everything from boys struggling in school to girls dropping out of the STEM pipeline, from sexual harassment to anti-gay bullying, from eating disorders to plastic surgery? How do we co-create environments for positive self esteem, healthy identity development, and acceptance of differences?
