Abstract

Background:  Although the widespread presence of girls who participate in fighting forces is increasingly recognized, they remain a highly marginalized group globally, receiving little attention either during or after armed conflict. This is especially true for “girl mothers,” girls who return to communities with children born while members of fighting forces.
