How Conflict Changes Gender
A Workshop with Leading Researchers and Practitioners on Conflict and Gender
Events
As a national, nonpartisan, independent Institute, the U.S. Institute of Peace draws on our exceptional convening power to create opportunities for diverse audiences to exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas necessary for creative solutions to difficult challenges. We serve as an important, neutral platform for bringing together government and nongovernment, diplomacy, security, and development actors, and participants across political views. The Institute’s events help shape public policy and priorities to advance peaceful solutions to conflict and strengthen international security.
"Children of War"
"Children of War" explores the rehabilitation process in northern Uganda for child combatants, and follows three children, two boys and one girl. Nyero, Akulu and Polycap have all been victims and perpetrators of violence, as most child soldiers are.
