Child Soldier The military use of children takes three distinct forms: children can take direct part in hostilities (Child soldiers), or they can be used in support roles such as porters, spies, messengers, look outs, and sexual slaves; or they can be used for political advantage either as human shields or in propaganda. In a film by Discover The Journey, the issue of child soldiers in the Congo is addressed. The film description follows: A friendship forged by war. A war that tore them apart. Two child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo are faced with a choice to wield peace instead of the gun. To view the film, visit www.DiscoverTheJourney.org/congo.html

Unfortunately, a number of countries use young children to fight their wars. But a growing number of people are speaking out and trying to help these children. Documentary film-makers Jason Russell and Laren Poole created the site "Invisible Children." They and their team use media to tell the stories of these children and to encourage people to help by raising funds to educate and counsel former child soldiers. There are also a growing number of human rights agencies that recognize this problem and are trying to rescue and rehabilitate child soldiers. Among the organizations doing this work are The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, the International Rescue Committee, and Amnesty International.
