Solutions for using children as soldiers:
- Considering arms are often cheap and reliable, their availability and easy transportation helps develop the violence and conflict growth, which is what leads to child soldiers. Because of this, people should consider ways in which the trade of the arms can be limited. This is limiting the chances of rebels using children; however, it's still highly possible that the issue would continue.
- Draft propositions are also a possibility of a solution. Many times, child soldiers are used by the government, or contribute to a government-supported army. This makes the elimination of child soldiers near to impossible considering the governments do not want to give up their soldiers. However, some children volunteer to be a soldier, so the people may not have the power to release them from the military.
- Fundraising and donations would play a big role in the end of child soldiers because financial difficulties and limitations are reasons as to why children are in the military. It would increase a child's chance for an education or give them access to health programs or rehabilitation programs. This is very expensive, so on-going donations are the only possibility to gaining enough money.
- Sending in troops would also be a solution, though it is risky and pricey. Some governments are unwilling to give up the ability to obtain children for military reasons, and this could be the only successful solution. Money and lives are at stake, however, if troops are sent in. On the other hand, children could finally be free. This would be the most effective. Unfortunately, stable governments and countries don't want to risk it while unstable countries can't risk it.
