Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups in Nepal: Sector Report

Worldwide, the use of child soldiers is seen as one of the worst forms of child labor; during the People's War in Nepal, many children under the age of 18 became involved with different armed groups. This document highlights how World Education and its partners in the Brighter Futures Program used community sensitization and reintegration activities to assist children who had been associated with armed forces or groups. This booklet also identifies the most successful approaches and the major challenges faced by children returning to school or those in vocational training and apprenticeships. Part of a series that comprises the final report for the Brighter Futures Program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. World Education/Brighter Futures Program. 2009.
