GO TO THE UNITED NATIONS "CYBERSCHOOLBUS" WEBSITE AND WEBQUEST ON CHILD LABOUR
Around the world today, children are not only the victims of war, but also the participants. At any one time, more than 250,000 girls and boys under the age of 18 are fighting in armed conflicts. These young soldiers are part of government forces and armed opposition groups in more than 30 locations worldwide. And while many child soldiers are between the ages of 15 and 18, some are as young as 7 years old.
Throughout this WebQuest you will find all the resources you need to develop a response to a fundamental question:
