What is being done to solve this issue?

There are many intentional organizations that are working to help this children overcome their situation and reintegrate in the society and education. Some of the things this organizations do are:
Providing medical care, sanctuary and counselling to girls who have been the victim of sexual violence
Creating safe havens where children can escape the dangers of life on the streets after war has forced them to leave home.
Rebuilding schools destroyed by war and getting kids out of army uniforms and into school ones.



Helping children get their voices heard and their rights met, and helping local people to protect their children better.
Seek to end the involvement of girls and boys in hostilities in any capacity in state armed forces and in armed groups which are allied to states. We work both in situations where children are currently involved in armed conflicts and where they could be at risk of future use because of lack of legal or practical safeguards to protect them.

Advocate for the release, recovery and social reintegration of all under-18s, girls and boys, from armed forces and armed groups whether they have been formally recruited by, or are informally associated with, them.
We're helping to get children out of army uniforms and into school onesMany child soldiers go through formal Demobilisation, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR) programmes when they are free from the armed groups. These programmes tend to focus on the needs of boys but aren't always so sensitive to the specific needs of girls. As a result, girls are often a very vulnerable and marginalised group even among children who are already excluded and rejected by society.
