The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers

This website "works to prevent the recruitment and use of children as soldiers and to secure their demobilization." It does this by producing facts about child soldiers, giving updates on recent developments, and providing details of international standards on children and armed conflict. The idea is that if people knew what was going on with these children, they would work to stop it. The website gives information on how you can get involved by making donations to the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, sign up your organization to your national coalition, or work with the coalition itself as a paid staff member or volunteer.
I like to believe that this website is right in its assumption that people only need to be informed of an injustice in order to correct it. I think that the reason why not much is being done currently about this issue is because not enough people know the problem exists. Up until recently, I thought Uganda was the only country using child soldiers. A year ago I didn't even know countries were still using kids in battle. As soon as I found out, however, I donated some books to my friend's high school who sent the school supplies to a Ugandan schoolhouse. I don't tell you this to brag, I am telling you this because it illustrates my point. As soon as I was informed of the problem and given a chance to do something, I acted. I realize that some people will decide not to do anything, but others will go the extra mile to heavily impact the cause once they are informed. Some people will join the peace corps or adopt a kid in a war torn country that is known for using child soldiers. We need to give people the opportunity to make a difference.
