Colombia anti-child-recruitment committee expands to provinces

Colombia's Vice Presidency announced the Committee for the Eradication of the Recruitment, Use and Utilization of Girls, Boys and Adolescents is moving to a new stage, with plans to bring its model to provinces. The initiative aims to combat the recruitment of minors by armed groups, a persistent issue in conflict-affected areas. The expansion signals a government push to institutionalize prevention efforts at the regional level, though implementation details and funding remain unclear.
