Human right abuses have been highly recorded in South Sudan up to date that include those that affect children. Some of the Human rights abuses perpetrated on children include recruitment of children as child solders, forced labor, killing and maiming, child abduction, rape, child and forced marriage forcing children especially girls to live a miserable live. It was reported that an estimated 2.8 million children are out of school in South Sudan which counts for about 23% of the total population.

According to human rights watch, “Authorities failed to ensure accountability for grave violations. Impunity continued to fuel violence, with civilians bearing the brunt of systematic sexual violence against women and girls, the ongoing presence of children in fighting forces, and others”.
