儿童基金会指出,由于暴力、贫穷和缺乏教育,哥伦比亚5年来招募儿童的人数翻了四番。 Child recruitment in Colombia has quadrupled in five years due to violence, poverty, and lack of education, UNICEF says.

在过去五年中,哥伦比亚武装团体招募儿童的人数翻了两番,儿童基金会的报告受到暴力、贫穷和缺乏教育和服务等驱动。 Child recruitment by armed groups in Colombia has quadrupled over the past five years, UNICEF reports, driven by violence, poverty, and lack of access to education and services. 儿童往往受到包括社交媒体在内的虚假承诺的胁迫或引诱,并面临性暴力、杀戮和袭击学校等严重虐待。 Children are often coerced or lured through false promises, including via social media, and face severe abuses such as sexual violence, killing, and attacks on schools. 儿童基金会强调,必须扩大保护、预防和重返社会方案,敦促当局将被招募的儿童作为受害者对待,并加强以社区为基础的保障措施,以减少脆弱性。 UNICEF stresses the need for expanded protection, prevention, and reintegration programs, urging authorities to treat recruited children as victims and strengthen community-based safeguards to reduce vulnerability.
