Description:
Millions of boys and girls all over the world are trapped in conflict as victims of abuses, robbed of their childhood and forced to commit atrocities. Since the establishment of the Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) mandate more than 20 years ago, the intensity and complexity of conflicts around the world have increased, but one thing remained unchanged: children are the primary victims of armed conflict. With grave violations against children on the rise, it is urgent to gather he support and commitment of partners not only to improve the protection of boys and girls affected by armed conflict but also to break cycles of violence in an effort to achieve sustainable peace. The advocacy course is aimed at generating more support and action to protect children affected by war, to bring the voices of children to the international arena and ultimately to end and prevent the six grave violations. The course seeks to firmly place the issue of children and armed conflict at the heart of the prevention, peace building and development agendas.
