• According to UNICEF:
"A 'child soldier' is defined as any child - boy or
girl - under 18 years of age, who is part of any
kind of regular or irregular armed force or
armed group in any capacity, including, but not
limited to: cooks, porters, messengers, & anyone
accompanying such groups other than family
members. It includes girls and boys recruited
for sexual purposes and/or forced marriage.
The definition, therefore, does not only refer to
a child who is carrying, or has carried weapons"

world's cities
– A gun takes the life of a child every 2 hours
in the US

civil war combatants
– Children are tortured by authorities in 11
countries
– More than a million children work in the
Asian sex trade
– 4,000 children in the USA were murdered
by their parents in 1998
– Child Soldiers are being used in over 36
countries worldwide.
– Today, there are approximately 300,000 child
soldiers fighting in armed conflict.
– Child soldiers are under the age of 18.
– Children are used as soldiers because they are
easily manipulated and are too young to
understand their actions.
– Child soldiers use AK-47s, M-16s & grenades
because they are easy to use.
Orphans & refugees see their only hope for
survival is by joining a militia.
– Child soldiers are used to clear
landmines and as human shields.
-Child soldiers are often given drugs to
help them cope with their emotions
making it easier for them to kill.
– Girl soldiers are often used as domestic
sex slaves.
– Child soldiers carry supplies and act as
messengers, cooks and lookouts.
– Child soldiers are sometimes forced to
commit atrocities against their own
families and villages.
– Many child soldiers are not welcome
back home after a conflict ends
because of cultural superstition.
– Children are the victims of conflict
after witnessing or participating in
murder and rape, becoming disabled,
homeless or psychologically
traumatized.
