What are these kids used for • childrencan take direct part in hostilities (child soldiers) They could also be spies messengers or look outs. And sometimes humans shields or sexual slaves
Were is this happening • Africa, sierra lion, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Europe, those are all developing places but there is one more that is very wealthy • NORTH AMERICA! That is sad it could be happening in your own back yard
Why is it happening It is happing because We don't make awareness that countless kids are dieing from war Some people don’t think its a problem Just saying what if u were a kid engaged in war and poverty? We children have rights and people are taking advantage of those rights its YOUR WAR ADULTS FIGHT IT YOURSELF WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT
Proof of rights A part of child rights documents Under Article 8.2.26 it says "Conscripting or enlisting children under the age of fifteen years into the national armed forces or using them to participate actively in hostilities" is a war crime If it’s a war crime why are there kids the age of 5 still being used for war
