Youth speak out: new voices on the protection and participation of young people affected by armed conflict


Youth views on the problems and challenges they face associated with armed conflict

Produced by: Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children , 2005

This paper provides an overview of the problems and challenges young people face during and after armed conflict and also offers youth-driven solutions for addressing these problems. The report draws on participatory research conducted by more than 150 adolescents in Kosovo, northern Uganda and Sierra Leone. Young people interviewed their peers about a range of issues to answer questions, such as what are the main problems of adolescents in your society? What are some solutions to these problems? What is adolescence, and how does someone become an adult in your society?
