difficult to access in parts of the Central African Republic (CAR) that are
under the control of the Séléka rebel alliance, despite relative calm
following an 11 January peace agreement, say humanitarian agencies. A
scarcity of health workers and a lack of medical supplies are among the
problems.

[image: lead photo]JOHANNESBURG, 12 February 2013 (IRIN) - Girl child
soldiers are often thought of only as "sex slaves", a term that glosses
over the complex roles many play within armed groups and in some national
armies. This thinking contributes to their subsequent invisibility in the
demobilization processes - in fact, girls are frequently the most
challenging child soldiers to rehabilitate.
