Child soldiers campaigners look to 2009
Campaigners against child soldiers are beginning the year with a push to end their use
The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers is aiming to collect a million ‘red hands’ to present to the United Nations on 12 February, while in Britain Quakers are backing a drive to prevent under-eighteens being recruited into the armed forces
The ‘Red Hand Day’ initiative seeks to present statements against the use of child soldiers to the UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon on the anniversary of the international treaty on child soldiers coming into force Those involved, young and old, have been encouraged to send a message to the UN together with a red print of their hand; the red hand is the symbol of the Child Soldiers Coalition
