"In the bush I was allocated to a man to be his second wife. If you refused to show respect... you were beaten thoroughly." Ugandan girl "I was in the front lines the whole time. I used to be assigned to plant mines in areas the enemy passed through. They used us for reconnaissance and other things like that because if you're a child the enemy doesn't notice you much, nor do the villagers." Former child soldier, Burma "I was so afraid of dying. But my friends warned me that if the rebel commanders detected any fear in me they would kill me, so I had to pretend to be brave." Ex-child soldier Uganda "The DDR programme is good. I am free from fighting and back with my parents." Sudanese boy "We are the seeds that will stop the war." Mayerly Sanchez, Colombia Children's Peace Movement
