Topic: Children's voices in conflict zones: investigating the impact of conflict on education in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. This research project explores the challenges faced by children in the ongoing armed crisis in Cameroon's Anglophone regions. The study aims to be a conduit for the voices of these vulnerable children, utilising qualitative interviews, participatory methods, and child-friendly approaches to uncover the multifaceted implications of conflict on access to education. By giving agency to children’s voices, the study will illuminate barriers they face, ranging from disrupted schooling to physical safety concerns. It seeks to inform child-centric policies and interventions to protect and promote the right to education in conflict zones.
