The UN has identified 14 countries where children have been widely used as soldiers. This is a global problem that is getting worse and it must be addressed. The UN further reported that a majority of these children were actually under the age of 15 and that 40 percent of them were girls. In 2017, the advocacy group Child Soldiers International estimated that more than 100,000 children were forced to become soldiers in state and non-state military organizations in at least 18 armed conflicts worldwide.
