EuroWARCHILD explores the experiences and needs of three generations of children born of war in Europe - children framed as the enemy, as innocent individuals or security threats.
EuroWARCHILD is the first research project to comprehensively examine different groups of war children in the European context; across different conflicts, security settings and generations. EuroWARCHILD will affect policy development and increase attention to children born of war in many European countries, and beyond.
Funded by: European Research Council Consolidator Grant
Duration: 2021-2026
”To date, policy makers have largely overlooked the protection needs and indeed the very existence of children born of rape.”
- Pramila Patten,
UN Special Representative of the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict
at the launch of the EuroWARCHILD Project
