Organisation aims and activities: This coalition aims to prevent the future involvement of any child or young person in situations of armed conflict.

Further details: The Coalition against the linking of children - boys and girls - and youths to the armed conflict in Colombia is an interinstitutional space, presently made up by nine National and international nongovernmental organisations. We count on an Operating Committee which functions as dynamic power of our work, and we keep on being committed to trying to achieve the objective that no minor under 18 years of age - directly or indirectly - participates in the armed conflict. For this, we continue betting on public opinion's awareness and information, through various strategies, such as the carrying out of workshops, survey, the incidence of legislation and public policies, the monitoring to the putting into effect of the recommendations given by the United Nations International Committee for Children's Rights, the lobbying before State Institutions and follow-up of the way in which communication media present information on our central work subject: children and the armed conflict! The purpose of the Coalition for next semester, is to continue working with those who - from regions in Colombia - make their best efforts to teach and share with the children - boys and girls - and youths, a way to face differences and solve difficulties form the no violence position towards respect for others and the love for life.
