The training is vital to a well prepared and professional force that contributes to ending the recruitment and use of children by armed groups and preventing future recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>The recruitment and use of children are one of the six grave violations against children in armed conflict. Every year, tens of thousands of children globally\u2014both girls and boys\u2014are used by armed forces and armed groups in a variety of roles such as fighters, cooks, porters, messengers and spies. Many, especially girls, are also subjected to sexual abuse and exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrengthening the capacity of the FADM to prevent grave violations against children, with a special emphasis on preventing the recruitment and use of children as soldiers, and actively putting children\u2019s rights up front will produce a framework that enables the protection of children and secure a peaceful future. Applying these skills also play an important role in ending cycles of violence that can lead to recurrence conflicts,\u201d says Dallaire Institute Acting Country Representative in Mozambique, Ars\u00e8ne Mukendi Tshidimu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen children are recruited or used by armed actors, their lives are shattered, with significant consequences for their physical and mental well-being. Developing awareness, knowledge and skills to prevent girls and boys from being taken and used by armed groups is a key step in ensuring their protection while contributing to the achievement of peace and security\u201d, said Katarina Johansson, UNICEF\u2019s Deputy Representative in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
