Child-inclusive and gender responsive reintegration programmes

In 2023, children living in conflict situations experienced an unprecedented increase in violence and violations of their rights.2 This paper focuses on children who are most at risk: those who end up in government armed forces or nonstate armed groups. Armed entities perpetrate multiple human rights violations against these vulnerable children, and therefore special attention must be paid to their reintegration into society once they emerge from armed entities. Given the rise in violence, an increasing number of children will be eligible for and require reintegration to support their transition from military to civilian life in the midst and in the wake of conflict.
