This exhibit will take you through the Civil War in Sierra Leone and give you an inside look at the psychological effects the war had on the child soldiers and youth population in the country. The Civil War of Sierra Leone here is categorized as a youth crisis. Throughout this exhibit we will be focusing on how the child militants were able to commit such atrocities, how participating in the conflict affected them, how their readjustment back into society has played out, and analyzing whether the Sierra Leone Civil War could've been prevented.
