Under Child Soldiers you will find facts about child soldiers, the answers to frequently asked questions, recent developments, and details of international standards on children and armed conflict. In the same section there is information about government armed forces and armed groups, and a page on DDR (disarmament, demobilization and reintegration).
The Coalition section explains who we are and what we do.
Under Regions you can search for information about individual countries and regions.
In the Library you will find all our Global Reports and themed reports, together with those of partner organizations, and an up-to-date listing of media coverage of child soldiers from around the world.
We have developed a psycho-social section to foster a constructive inter and intra-disciplinary dialogue on relevant psycho-social issues in the area of children and armed conflict.
On our Get Involved page you can find out how to make a donation, raise money for the Coalition by shopping online or changing your search engine, and support the Red Hand Campaign to collect one million red hands against the use of child soldiers.
