About Us
a non-profit organization based in New York University for promoting awareness and activism on the issue of child soldiers.
Currently some 300,000 children around the world are being denied their childhoods. Kidnapped from their homes and forced into armed conflicts as both combatants and sexual slaves, child soldiers have stories which are rarely told. While issues such as HIV/AIDS and global poverty rightfully have a place in the public arena, many of us students are completely unaware of this concealed reality in which children our age and younger are forced to kill in order to survive.
Our goal as a non-profit organization on campus is to begin an important discourse by telling these children’s stories.
Interests
