When I started looking for girls in numerous war situations, I found silences and empty spaces, punctuated only by a handful of researchers focusing on children in general and girls in particular. Their stories account only for the smallest percentage of scholarly and popular work on social and political violence and systems of injustice. . . . Too often the girls are considered only as silent victims of (sexual) assault—devoid of agency, moral conscience, economic potential or political awareness. . . . We need to ask girls to tell their own stories of war . . . rather than assuming the right to speak for them. —Carolyn Nordstrom 1997, 5, 36
