You can make a difference
Child soldiers are not present in Canada making it hard to understand what these children are suffering and hard to make a change in their lives. Though it may be a challenge we can make a change. The best way to free these children is awareness and knowledge. We need to inform the world of this pressing issue. If everyone is aware of the abuse the child soldiers receive more countries will ban the use of child soldiers and increase the rehabilitation they receive. We can raise awareness by discussing this human rights issue with family and friends. Schools should raise awareness to the issue and the students should be informed by teachers that this is going on in the world right now. We can all make a difference.
As Canadians we are also able to donate to organizations such as War Child, Child Soldiers International, and the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldier Initiative. These organizations are working directly in the countries with child soldiers. They are working with the government to free the children and building rehabilitation programs. They also provide counselling and medical care. By donating to these organizations your resources will be used effectively to one day hopefully free the children of the world. Children should be able to act like children, not soldiers.
