The Central African Republic has been facing a crisis of child soldiers for decades now, with an estimated 40% of them being girls. While some are taken against their will, others join armed groups as volunteers. In this powerful documentary, three former girl soldiers – Rosine, Nolla and Marie-Claire – tell their stories of recruitment, trauma and reintegration into society.
These young women were only children when they became embroiled in violence and criminal activities. However, upon returning to civilian life, they find themselves confronted with a double sentence – firstly from society which views them as criminals and murderers due to their involvement in the war, and secondly from themselves. Many non-governmental organisations have recognised the need for specialised care for these girl soldiers so that they can move past the trauma of their experiences.
