Child Soldiers Map & SEEL

In Social Studies, our new topic is a research task about child soldiers. I had to create a map with the top 10 countries with child soldiers.





SEEL Paragraph
Why are children used in War and how does this take away their Human Rights and Freedom?

Many children are recruited to become soldiers at a young age. Some of the kids join the military due to attempting to avenge family members that have been killed or taken. By joining, the kids are subjecting them self to many different commitments such as, cooking, messengers, informants, spies and they can be used to commit extreme acts of violence, in some cases, killing people. The commander may use the child as anything it chooses and can sometimes be used for sexual purposes. Since so many kids join at such as young age, they often don't attend school and can be bullied or sexually harassed in the facilities. Human rights are violated due to the kids being easily manipulated and controlled, not having a say in anything they do, and some even tricked into not being able to leave for a years.
