A crash course in changing the world.
After reading the "WomenWatch" website. I chose the February 12th 2013 article, "Girl child soldiers face new battles in civilian life".
The website of the article: (http://www.irinnews.org/Report/97463/Analysis-Girl-child-soldiers-f...)
Why chose this article? Because starting the 20th - 21th century, the rate of child trafficking, sex slaves, mostly female underage have no choice to earn money at night increases. The only job they can get is by working in the clubs and hotels to serve people (usually wealthy men will order female for them).
The article: Johannesburg, 12th February 2013 - Girl Child soldiers are often thought as "sex slaves". In fact, girl soldiers are the most challenging child soldiers to rehabilitate. *more than boys does*
Girls soldiers have lots of uses which makes them valuable to the army and some girls feel a sense of power when they serve with an illegal army. Girl soldiers are treated different in some places and they have self esteem problems. They have difficulty seeing their self worth and get confused with society and religion. Some girls got raped and they are given or chosen as a wife to other people. When they do get back to society, society doesn't accept them and think them as unmarriadgable girls.
So basically girl soldiers are not treated equally sometimes. They find it hard to join back to society and gender stereotypes are very common.
