(War Child) – When children who’ve joined armed groups, or ‘child soldiers’, are discussed, it’s assumed they’re recruited by force. While that does happen, the action of joining voluntarily is overlooked. War Child UK’s new report, ‘Tug of War: Children in Armed Groups in DRC’, shows that in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) the clear majority of them are joining ‘voluntarily’.
