How are 'The Troubles' effecting children and what do researchers in Stranmillis College suggest we can do to improve their lives?
How are Northern Ireland's children effected by growing up in a violent society? This research from Stranmillis College might challenge your expectations. The study looks at children from across the country with varying experiences of the civil war. Their findings question how widespread the impact of violence is on the majority of children and suggest that the political situation allows governments to ignore other damaging factors like the high rate of child poverty.
