Child soldiers are children who are used for any military purpose. My map is showing countries that have the worst case for child soldiers.
Why are children used in War and how does this take away their Human Rights and Freedom?
Thousands of children are used in war and this takes away their human rights and freedom. The worst countries for child soldiers are Somalia, Sudan and Syria. The children working as soldiers get injured and killed when at war. They use children as soldiers because they are cheap and easy to manipulate into conflicts. Some join because of poverty or to gain protection. Military organizations are viewed as a safe and secure group of comrades. They often work as soldiers for revenge to an organisation for killing their family. After working for the military they are often left without a family. There are many children that still work as soldiers for the military. The human rights that are taken away are the right to life, the right to a fair and free world and the right to rest or play.
