Research Handbook of Children and Armed Conflict

Edited by Myriam Denov, Maya Fennig

This handbook explores children’s lived realities of armed conflict and its aftermath and features empirical, conceptual and policy analyses alongside first-hand accounts of the experiences of war-affected children and youth.

The handbook explores the theoretical, practical and policy issues related to children affected by war. Chapters investigate the harms experienced by such children and youth, whether in the heat of conflict, during flight or during resettlement to a new context, underscoring the urgency and high stakes of these situations for children and families affected by war.
