To partners and friends from all of us at Child Soldiers International - it was an honour working with you towards a world where no child is recruited for war. It's up to all of you to take this fight forward. Farewell and onwards! child-soldiers.org/news/fare… @ChildSoldiers @CRINwire

Farewell to an amazing and committed team. We will carry on this incredibly important fight to end @ChildSoldiers because we owe it to humanity to do better for our children. It is possible to live in a world where the use of children as soldiers becomes unthinkable.

@ChildSoldiersIn was always a small organisation, but we punched way above our weight. With thanks to @ChildSoldiers and @CRINwire the work will continue. No child should ever be recruited for conflict.

Such an honour to have collaborated with the fantastic @ChildSoldiersIn over the last 19 years. So proud of the team and impressed by the many achievements that helped raise awareness on children’s recruitment & use and facilitate impactful prevention strategies #CSIachievements
As we prepare to say goodbye to Child Soldiers International, we will be highlighting some of our key achievements over the last 21 years. Starting today, with one of our crowning achievements – the adoption of the #childsoldier treaty, OPAC. #CSIachievements

“While we are sad to see the closure of @ChildSoldiersIn we are eager to continue the excellent work they have done to stop the UK’s armed forces recruiting children and change the UK’s deeply flawed standards, which do nothing to protect children” - @veroyates @CRINwire Director
While our global children and armed conflict work is taken over by @ChildSoldiers, we are pleased to announce that our campaign against the UK’s enlistment of children will be continued by @CRINwire. We know the campaign will thrive under their leadership! child-soldiers.org/news/pres…

We are thrilled our global work to prevent child recruitment and use will be taken over by @ChildSoldiers. Like us, they believe prevention is better than cure. We are proud that our work and legacy continues through their hard-working and passionate team child-soldiers.org/news/the-…

We're incredibly proud of our Child Soldiers World Index and are thrilled that it will continue with @ChildSoldiers. A unique online resource, the World Index maps the global picture on child recruitment practices, laws and policies: childsoldiersworldindex.org/ #CSIachievements
We have worked with our #Congo partners for 15+ years. Recently, together we spotlighted the often overlooked involvement of girls in armed groups and developed a reintegration Practical Guide - using the testimony of the girls' themselves #CSIachievements tinyurl.com/y4wjpurx
In order to preserve the integrity of the children and armed conflict agenda, we and 20 other NGOs urge Secretary-General @antonioguterres publish a complete
and accurate list of perpetrators of grave violations against children in his upcoming annual report.
All perpetrators should be held to the same standard, and Secretary-General @antonioguterres should list all parties that violate children's rights, said a group of 21 NGOs in a letter this week. #NotATarget watchlist.org/publications/o…

.@GCPEAtweets report further supports research conducted by @ChildSoldiersIn in Eastern #DRC, which found girls faced extreme hardships after their release from armed groups, including difficulties accessing #education. #SafeSchools child-soldiers.org/shop/what…

In the Kasai conflict in #DRC, violence affected all children, but girls were particularly harmed, used as “magical” forces that would ward off bullets despite being unarmed, and raped and forcibly “married” to troops: bit.ly/30v7tvv

Los miles de niños soldado que hay en el mundo se quedarán un poco más solos y con una voz menos que defienda sus derechos a partir del 7 de junio con la desaparición de @ChildSoldiersIn. Triste noticia child-soldiers.org/news/anno…

Hear hear. Thank you to the wonderful people at @ChildSoldiersIn who committed themselves to shining necessary light on the recruitment, use, & exploitation of children in armed groups, & bettering our understanding of the lasting impact on children. You will truly be missed.
Saddened by news that our friend and longtime ally @ChildSoldiersIn is closing. Thank you for your hard work to give a voice to #childsoldiers and your dedication to ending and preventing child recruitment and use. This is a huge loss for the rights community.
Child Soldiers International retweeted
Conflict Dynamics is very disappointed to hear that @ChildSoldiersIn will no longer be joining us in the fight for accountability for crimes committed against children in armed conflict. Thank you for all that you have done over the last decade to protect children during war.
ANNOUNCEMENT: In what is an increasingly challenging funding and operating environment for small human rights NGOs, it is with regret we announce that Child Soldiers International is to cease operating on 7 June 2019.
