وبالإضافة إلى التجنيد القسري، عانى الأطفال الليبيريين من جميع أنواع الأعمال الوحشية، بما فيها العنف الجنسي والانقطاع عن الدراسة والتشريد القسري.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimates that 1 out of every 10 Liberian children may have been recruited at some time into the war effort both in Liberia and in the neighbouring countries and that, besides forced recruitment, Liberian children have suffered all kinds of atrocities, including sexual violence, disruption of schooling and forced displacement.
