Children in Armed Conflict

Children in armed conflict refer to young boys and girls affected by war, violence, and instability. During conflicts, children often face dangers such as forced recruitment as soldiers, displacement from their homes, loss of family members, and limited access to education and healthcare. These experiences can cause long-term physical and psychological harm. International laws aim to protect children from the worst effects of war, emphasizing their right to safety, education, and development. Addressing this issue involves rescuing, rehabilitating, and reintegrating affected children, and preventing their exploitation in armed conflicts.
