Amongst many male child soldiers there are female child soldiers with stories that are not being told.  Not enough attention is being given to females who have been recruited into armed forces.  Although it is true that the percent of boy soldiers is higher than that of girl soldiers, in certain armed forces like the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army), 30% of child soldiers are female.  Globally, female soldiers are estimated to make up 40% of all child soldiers.  The international community continues to believe that boy soldiers considerably outnumber girl soldiers and casts a blind eye on the many roles of female fighters.  Not all of these girls act primarily as sex slaves; many of them are fighters on the frontline.  Their stories are important and their rehabilitation is necessary for bringing peace to war-torn regions.
