We can help stop occurrences like this from happening and to the thousands of other child soldiers in other countries like The Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Syria,Yemen, Myanmar, etc.
 Ordinary people can protest with UNICEF that partners with governments and community groups to stop violations before they occur.
