WHY ARE CHILDREN USED IN WAR AND HOW DOES THIS TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM?
Children around the world have no childhood, they only know WAR and HATE. Countries such as Sudan, Afghanistan and Somalia use child soldiers. Child soldiers are children who are recruited and used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies, or as sexual slaves. These children are put into many difficult situations that can result in trauma and painful injuries. Children who live in poverty, children who are poor, children living in hardships or in the slums are more likely to be targeted to be forcibly recruited into these armies. With living in these horrible conditions, these families live in debt, and to pay off these debts, the children are sold to people. It is very easy to convince these children that these things are occurrences of the norm and that there is no reason to be scared. The parents sell their children young because they are very easy to manipulate, meaning that their decisions are easily driven by others. These kids are told to do many dangerous things and can't really do anything about it. The Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to freedom, and these children's right to be free has been taken by these horrible people. Children around the world suffer through these hardships, have been brought up in this WAR and HATE and most of them continue in this life, just to stay safe.
