Child recruitment and its danger to Yemen's future – Nada Al-Ahdal (series)
In this series of short videos, Nada Al-Ahdal speaks about the military recruitment of children and the danger it poses to Yemen's future.
She describes child recruitment as a humanitarian disaster without precedent in the world's history. It is a blatant violation of human rights and, under international laws and conventions, a war crime. In her view, the Houthi movement in Yemen is, after ISIS, among the groups that recruit children most openly, in clear breach of international law.
