Abstract: This article examines the use and recruitment of boy-child soldiers in the civil war of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the context of international human trafficking instruments and principles by utilizing its victim-center approaches. It further analyzes the effects of gender-mainstreaming on the sexual exploitation of boy-child soldiers and their ability to successfully reintegrate back into society.
