“…[10, 1517] In Sierra Leone, many female CAAFAG were excluded from government Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration programs and a very small fraction of returning girls benefited from education or livelihood packages. [7, 18] Studies have shown that girls work far more hours than boys, have lower literacy rates, and suffer preventable deaths because they lack reproductive health care.
