Vinculación voluntaria y/o reclutamiento forzado de NNA por grupos al margen de la ley como víctimas del conflicto armado.

Abstract

The armed conflict is a social problem characterized by the constitution of illegal armed groups, which are responsible for illicit activities such as forced recruitment and voluntary involvement of children and adolescents. The main objective of this qualitative research is to unveil the reasons for the voluntary and/or forced recruitment of children and adolescents, from the perspective of the victim of violence in a conflict zone. Through a documentary review, it can be seen that forced recruitment is the most common way used by these groups to recruit children and adolescents, as well as influencing their decision to join voluntarily, taking into account certain characteristics such as the context and vulnerability in which they find themselves.
