There is a very strong correlation between conflict and children’s rights. Children living in situations of armed conflict and instability experience severe human rights violations. Children suffer disproportionately from the effects of war.They bear the brunt of the conflict, risking their lives, losing their homes, being separated from their families, and being exposed to sexual violence, mines, unexploded ordnances and improvised explosive devices and recruitment to armed groups.While there has in recent times been some reduction in armed conflict on the continent, the situation remains volatile. The past 25 years have been riddled with wars on the continent, often involving child soldiers, and always adversely affecting the rights and wellbeing of children.
