There is nothing in here about boys.

Again we see the classic manipulation of information by the media and "Male Erasure".

How to make The MALES Vanish!

1) Displacement - the male is defined by some trait or label other than gender -- even when gender obviously, or apparently, is decisive in shaping the experience or predicament being described.

2) Incidentalizing - to relegate an important theme to passing mention in the middle reaches of an article, or to introduce it only at the end, is effectively to render it incidental and inconspicuous, if not outright invisible.

3) Exclusion - Let it be stated plainly: "Including women" excludes men. The trope most commonly adopted here can be summarized in the little-examined phrase, "including women" -- or, equally commonly, "including women and children."

"Effacing the Male: Gender, Misrepresentation, and Exclusion in the Kosovo War, Adam Jones, Ph.D., Published in Transitions: The Journal of Men's Perspectives, 21: 1-3 (2001).

Here we see Classic Displacement - "Children" rather than boys and girls - "Rescued"^noun rather than actual human beings.
