Promoting Voice and Agency Among Forcibly Displaced Children and Adolescents: Participatory Approaches to Practice in Conflict-Affected Settings
In: Journal on migration and human security, Band 9, Heft 3, S. 139-153
ISSN: 2330-2488
Globally, large numbers of children and adolescents are displaced by armed conflict, which poses significant threats to their mental health, psychosocial well-being, and protection. Although humanitarian work to support mental health, psychosocial well-being, and protection has done considerable good, this paper analyzes how humanitarian action is limited by excessive reliance on a top-down approach. Although the focus is on settings of armed conflict, the analysis offered in this paper applies also to the wider array of humanitarian settings that spawn increasing numbers of refugees globally.

Do No Harm: Challenges in Organizing Psychosocial Support to Displaced People in Emergency Settings
Psychosocial assistance in emergencies plays an important role in alleviating suffering and promoting well-being, but it is often a source of unintended harm. A prerequisite for ethically appropriate support is awareness of how psychosocial programs may cause harm. This paper underscores the importance of attending to issues of coordination, dependency, politicization of aid, assessment, short-term assistance, imposition of outsider approaches, protection, and impact evaluation. With regard to each of these issues, it suggests practical steps that may be taken to reduce harm and maximize the humanitarian value of psychosocial assistance. ; L'assistance psychosociale dans des situations d'urgences joue un rôle important dans le soulagement de la souffrance et la promotion du bien-être ; mais, souvent, elle est la source de préjudices non intentionnels. Une connaissance de la façon dont les programmes psychosociaux peuvent causer des préjudices est un préalable pour un support éthiquement convenable. Cet article souligne l'importance de la prise en considération des problèmes liés à la coordination, la dépendance, la politisation de l'aide, l'évaluation, l'assistance à court terme, l'imposition des approches par des personnes extérieures, la protection, et l'évaluation de l'impact.

Children, Armed Conflict, and Peace
In: Journal of peace research, Band 35, Heft 5, S. 635-646
ISSN: 1460-3578
In most analyses of armed conflict, children are invisible and are typically regarded as passive, incidental victims or inconsequential actors. In current intrastate, ethno-political conflicts, however, children play an increasing role both as soldiers and, along with other non-combatants, as targets and victims in fighting at the community level. New evidence from the recently completed UN Study Impact of Armed Conflict on Children documents that significant numbers of children are soldiers in conflicts fought in the post-Cold War era. The increasing participation in political violence of children, many of whom have little schooling, job training, or other means of meeting their basic needs, presents profound obstacles to the construction of peace. Furthermore, current patterns of community-level fighting victimize children, enabling soldiering and the continuation of cycles of armed conflict. Peace research needs to examine the scale and consequences of children's involvement in armed conflict, and it also needs to develop an understanding of the wider psychosocial impact of armed conflict on children. Using the UN Study as a point of departure, this essay reviews current knowledge about the psychological impact of political violence on children, identifying key methodological and ethical challenges that confront research in this area. Recognizing that children comprise approximately half the population of war-torn countries, this essay also develops the theme that the construction of peace requires action research aimed at constructing culturally appropriate intervention and prevention efforts that assist children and families and that contribute to broader programs of post-conflict reconstruction and development.
