The effects on youth of war and violent conflict

Protracted warfare has long-term physical and mental impacts on the individual, as well as intergenerational economic impacts. Yet, young people can be extremely resilient and resourceful; They have to be. They thus create for themselves an oasis of stability in a world of shifting social and political landscapes. At a societal level, such stability is also key, or else young individuals themselves will become victims or perpetrators of violence.
