ARK News: Here is the Kurdistan of Syria, the dividing point here is the voice of the gun and the repression, one Party, one ideology, it harnesses the community to all its details serving its policies, aspects of the victim are huge, immigration, detention, abduction, deprivation, and harassment at all levels and categories. Here the child is deprived of everything except kidnapping, recruitment and carrying arms.
Thousands of students stayed away from study seats, from the simplicity of their childhood to the battlefields, the camps, Qandil, by the Party called PKK and its Syrian wing, the Democratic Union Party.
With the beginning of the Syrian revolution in 2011, and the Syrian regime handing over some areas of Kurdistan, Syria to PYD ,that the percentage of illiteracy and the percentage of staying away from education in all stages from the first grade to the university stages is in the rising, and child labor and recruitment are widespread, to the martyrdom of more than 15 thousand Syrian Kurds in private wars outside the regions of Kurdistan, Syria serving regional and international agendas, and the subsequent deprivation of thousands of children from seeing their parents.
All these daily practices at the level of PYD control areas, as well as cases of orphans, diseases and other aspects which the child lives in Kurdistan, Syria, have found only shy lines in the reports and projects of international organizations which deal with children's rights, including UNICEF.
Although the military wing of PYD signed on June 5, 2014 an "instrument of commitment" with the Geneva NGO non-governmental organization pledging to demobilize all combatants under the age of 18 within a month, however, it did not abide by its promises, and continued it practices under the marginalization of pressure or real projects by international organizations.

"Despite their pledges to stop the use of child soldiers, YPG militants continue to recruit children for military training in the territories they control, it becomes more terrible when children are recruited from vulnerable families without the knowledge of their parents or to tell them where they are ", said Priyanka Mutaparathy, acting Director of Emergency Affairs at Human Rights Watch.
