WTF are you talking about? Serbia has not mobilized women and children. The women were in volunteer units. No one forced them to be in the army.
The photo you showed of the Serbian child, this child is the youngest soldier ever. But this child voluntarily came to the artillery unit with the goal of avenging his family. Because this child had no one, the officer agreed for him to become part of this unit, because otherwise he would have died. It turned out that this child became an exceptional soldier who received many decorations and military rank.
Learn history before you write something similar.
