thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello,
A group of us (students from the University of Chicago) are going to create a new article about rehabilitation and reintegration of child soldiers. Below is our proposed outline and sources. Please let us know if anyone has any input. The link to this article will go in that page under “See also”
Definitions that are currently in place. Will reformat into some sort of table or box to look more presentable and will give it citations to give it authenticity. Maybe see if a reputable source such as the WHO has a definition for DDR (Disarming, demobilization, and reintegration efforts). Will use other information from the DDR wikipedia page.
Outline: 
I. Child recruits 
II. Female recruits 
III. Case Study: Sierra Leone 
:-Short historical backdrop 
IV. Case Study: Colombia 
:-Short historical backdrop 
:-Paramilitary 
:-Guerrilla 
V. Case study: South Sudan 
:-Short historical backdrop 
:-Reintegration and challenges 
VI. Lessons Learned: Factors needed for successful rehabilitation and reintegration 
*The most difficult part where be knowing where to draw the lines between sections because some recruits may be both a child and a female. Also, perhaps finding some sort of infographic may be helpful with statistics and such.

A case study of Sierra Leone but looks specifically at psychosocial adjustment and community reintegration through a follow-up study of former child soldiers.

   -This article focuses on the disarming, demobilization, and reintegration efforts (DDR) and how they must be placed in a transitional justice focus with not only an eye to the transition of the ex-combatant himself but also the transition of society and whether they will be accepting or not. This will be an interesting read to see the social consequences (ostracization, exclusion, and prejudice) imposed on those belonging to one of these groups. Focuses specifically on Colombia in the context of recent peace talks.

   -This article focuses specifically on girl recruits and the challenge they face when being reintegrated back into society. We think this article would inform the section on female recruits since we believe they face a very different kind of trauma after instances of sexual abuse and forced abortions.

   -This are articles that were cited in the paramilitary and guerrilla pages on Wikipedia and were the only ones cited under reintegration. Focuses on perceptions, emotions, and strategies for reintegration. Might be able to extrapolate to child soldiers since often these children are taken when they are very young
