#Makeit18 Alongside our partners World Vision and ChildFund we're working to raise the age of marriage in Solomon Islands to 18! Supported by New Zealand’s International Development Cooperation Programme — Ngā Hoe Tuputupu-mai-tawhiti.
If a child is allowed to vote in the #Solomonislands at 18, why should marriage be allowed at 15? Marriage should be a personal consent. #MakeIt18 #ammendtheact

A quarter of new recruits to the British army are aged 16 or 17, with many recruited for the infantry, the army’s close-combat arm.
The use of sustained stress and abuse is common, leaving recruits more vulnerable to suicide.

Hugely important report and thread from our friends @CRINwire demonstrating why the recruitment age for the British military has to be increased. We ask @DefenceHQ - when will you follow other countries & #MakeIt18? Retweet if you agree!
TW - reference to suicide.

British veterans aged 16–19 are three times as likely to end their lives compared to their civilian peers.
CRIN’s new report is the first to explore how joining the military at a young age heightens risk of suicide and mental ill-health./1

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child are examining the UK's record on a host of issues & questionable policies - including continuing/increasing military recruitment of under 18s.
@UNChildRights1 put questions to @GOVUK - we'll hear their response in the morning #MakeIt18
@UNChildRights1 notes that 20% of new recruits to UK armed forces are under 18 years old. Raises serious concerns about sexual assault of girls recruited to forces as well as concerns re mental health and suicides
#TeamScotlandUN
The UK is one of only sixteen countries in the world still to recruit children from the age of 16 into its military.🪖 This endangers the rights and welfare of children in the UK, and holds back global efforts to end all recruitment of children for military purposes. #MakeIt18
EXCLUSIVE: Over one in 10 teenage girls in the Armed Forces claim they have been sexually assaulted or raped by instructors and fellow troops.

Joe got in touch last year after seeing CRIN's #MakeIt18 campaign to end the military recruitment of children. In this interview we hear how Joe has used theatre to address the abuse and injustices he experienced as a young recruit. Please join us!➡️https://t.co/X2gsdx6Gxk
.@DefenceHQ's line is that recruitment is safe for young people as they can't be sent to war until they turn 18. But this piece shows that the risks to young recruits aren't limited to the battlefield, they start from the moment they arrive at training. #Makeit18
"Britain stands in stark contrast to most states worldwide which now only recruit adults to their armed forces."
We have joined @CRINwire @AmnestyUK @hrw & others to call on UK govt to end the practice of recruiting adolescents to the military #MakeIt18 https://t.co/DB6RwuOuuD
It's great to see the @theSNP submission to the Armed Forces Integrated Review make the case for raising the age of military recruitment to 18.
This became party policy after members voted for it in 2017 after the @YSINational #MakeIt18 campaign!
Seems there’s been something of an (intentional?) misunderstanding of what I thought was a clearly stated @theSNP position on #nuclearweapons & #armscontrol in the @SNP_SITW team’s submission to the #IntegratedReview, so I thought I’d do a wee thread 🧵☢️🏴🇺🇳
Shame the UK Government is not acting on its own words about the need to protect children in situations of armed conflict, by raising the age of military recruitment in the UK to 18, as the UN has long been calling for. #RedHandDay #MakeIt18

Our new report calls on the UK government to end army recruitment of children and #MakeIt18. It shows that children from under-privileged backgrounds are especially impacted by army recruitment. Read more: https://t.co/ViZE6RPZXJ

Our new report 'Conscription by poverty?' reveals children under the age of 18 are disproportionately recruited into the army from the poorest areas of England. Read the full report here: https://t.co/ViZE6Ryoz9

As teenagers receive their GCSE results, our new report finds that the British army should stop recruiting children at age 16. Education is better for young people’s social mobility.Full report: https://t.co/ViZE6Ryoz9
