Research summary
Wars are dramatically altering the lives of children, youth and families around the world, and the physical, social, economic, political and psychological effects are devastating. Dr. Myriam Denov, Canada Research Chair in Children, Families, and Armed Conflict, is trying to get a deeper understanding of these effects.
She and her research team are focusing on war-induced migration and children born of wartime rape. They are developing policies and programs to help war-affected children and families in Canada and abroad.
