Afghan New Beginnings Programme

Afghan New Beginnings Programme

The Afghan New Beginnings Programme aims to demobilise and reintegrate thousands of child combatants in Afghanistan.

Many boys in Afghanistan were born into war. They have never known peace, but instead have encountered banditry and murder. A number of boy soldiers were conscripted for the sexual gratification of Mujaheddin and Taliban commanders.

The programme is funded by UNICEF.
