Abstract

Women combatants are not a homogeneous group. The current approach of many Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes is inappropriate for girls between 14 and 25 years of age. In order to provide reintegration assistance that has a signi¢cant long-term impact, it is essential ¢rst to understand why girls the join armed forces. Before DDR programme plans are ¢nalized and programmes started, time and resources need to be invested ¢rstly to locate the girls and then begin the process of understanding their potentials, vulnerabilities, dreams and ambitions.
