Stolen Futures – The reintegration of children affected by armed conflict

Submission to the ten-year review of the 1996 Machel study on the impact of armed conflict on children. The report pulls together the key findings and conclusions from a variety of situations in which children have been associated with armed forces and groups and have then been released and reintegrated into their families or communities. The research addresses children who have been through formal disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programmes as well as those who have gone directly into their or another community.
