Speak Up
Share what you have learned by writing an editorial or letter to the editor, for a newspaper, magazine, Web site, or blog.
Background
Share your concerns about child soldiers with others. Look through the posts on Web sites for youth like Voices Of Youth,
Taking It Global,
and youth sections of reputable news Web sites. See what others are saying about this important issue.
Take Action
Share your thoughts about child soldiers by writing a blog entry, letter to the editor, or editorial for a school, local, or national publication—either in-print or online. Help tell the child soldiers' stories. Make
others aware of trade practices in resources that may unwittingly
encourage the use of child soldiers. Ask questions about the age
of recruitment in your own country.
