Routledge Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis Book

Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis: Displacement, Gender and Social Inequalities provides a deep look into the lives of young people facing mass displacement. With nearly half of the 70 million displaced people worldwide being under the age of 18, understanding their specific needs is vital for humanitarian efforts. This Routledge Humanitarian Studies title examines how displacement disrupts education and employment prospects for young people. It addresses the serious risks of poor psychosocial outcomes and the specific threats of sexual and gender-based violence faced by girls. By looking at intersectional vulnerabilities, this book offers a clear perspective on the social inequalities that define the adolescent experience during global crises. It is an essential resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and humanitarian response.
