Empowering Youth to end cycles of violence.

In this episode, we focus on the voices of youth. We will hear the story of Nassu Kanden, abducted by rebel fighters in Sierra Leone when she was only 14.

We discuss the impact of armed conflict on children with members of the Dallaire Institute’s youth advisory committee.

Masai Ujiri (President of the Toronto Raptors, founder of the Giants of Africa, and member of the Dallaire Institute International Advisory Council) talks about empowering young people.

And, the Dallaire Institute’s research advisor and doctoral student Dustin Johnson, explains why his research is critical to preventing the recruitment and use of child soldiers.
