After the guns fall silent, violence follows children home across Africa for years to come. For the first time, a study has shown a direct link between political violence and violence against children, adolescents and young adults perpetrated by family members…
• 🌍 New Study Links Political Violence to Child Abuse: Research published in Nature Communications reveals a direct connection between exposure to political violence and subsequent violence against children, adolescents, and young adults by family, acquaintances, and peers.
• 📈 Lasting Impact of Conflict: A 15-year retrospective analysis of data from over 35,000 young people in eight African countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) found correlations between past political violence and current emotional, physical, and sexual violence, particularly affecting poorer households.
• 🧠 Reshaping Attitudes and Behaviors: The study, conducted by international researchers from NRI, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and LSHTM, provides the first empirical verification of this "chain of violence," demonstrating that conflict's legacy influences behavior and social norms long after violence ends.
