An agency official told the meeting that "According to UNICEF, the number of children recruited and used by armed groups skyrocketed by an estimated 200% in 2025," linking recruitment to hunger, family separation and disrupted education.
The speaker said more than 1,600 schools remain closed, affecting about 7,500 teachers and depriving more than 240,000 students of learning, and warned that each lost day of schooling increases children's vulnerability to recruitment, exploitation and violence.
