Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: One in four of the world’s estimated
300 000 child soldiers are currently
serving in the East Asia and Pacific
region. What is the family
background of children involved with
armed groups? How did they become
child soldiers? What are their
thoughts about the future? How
could demobilisation, vocational
training and psycho-social care
programmes help them reintegrate?
