Capturing forgotten voices: Syrian adolescents' experiences of displacement and humanitarian action in Jordan and Lebanon.

该奖学金旨在通过与儿童保护方面的主要国际行为体国际计划合作，捕捉年轻难民的声音，并帮助将他们纳入人道主义方案。难民青少年（被理解为11至19岁的任何人）是冲突和流离失所局势中最脆弱的年龄组之一。他们越来越多地受到各种形式的侵犯，如身体、性和心理暴力、剥削、贩运和征兵（Schlecht等人，2017年）。然而，在传统上侧重于年幼儿童或成年人经历的人道主义方案编制中，青少年，特别是女性往往被忽视。现有的学术文献忽视了青少年经历和需求的特殊性，因此与他们合作的人道主义组织在能力建设资源方面存在差距（Cuesta和Leone，2020年）。因此，该项目以青少年为重点，研究他们流离失所的具体经历以及他们在人道主义危机中作为援助接受者的经历。它有助于在人道主义研究领域开展更广泛的智力努力，以了解当地情况和弱势社区的各种经验，并将其纳入有效的人道主义应对措施。捕捉青少年的声音将有助于提高学术界对一个迄今研究不足的年龄组所面临的问题的理解。然后，该项目可以为从业人员提供一个证据基础，以改进目前主要基于假设而不是实际需要的针对具体年龄的方案拟订。这样做很重要，因为保护、投资和赋权青少年不仅对更好地保护儿童至关重要，而且对建立包容性社区和促进早期恢复和发展也至关重要（联合国儿童基金会，2020年）。为此，这些项目提出了这些关键的研究问题：-在与冲突有关的流离失所期间，难民青少年面临的主要挑战是什么？国家和国际组织为这一年龄组提供了哪些具体规定，特别是保护方面的规定，这些规定如何与他们的实际需要联系起来？青少年如何体验接受人道主义团体援助的过程？为青少年提供的服务如何改变他们的生活和社区？探讨这些问题将使学者和从业人员了解这一年龄组的具体需求，以及目前的方案能够在多大程度上满足他们。为了对人道主义方案拟订产生影响，该项目将与国际计划合作实施。该组织与该领域的其他行为者一道，确定了一项迫切需要，即更好地将难民青少年纳入影响其生活及其社区生活的决策过程。国际计划认为，这些努力对于增强儿童、青年及其社区的权能至关重要。

This studentship aims to capture the voices of young refugees and to help integrate them into humanitarian programming through collaboration with Plan International, a key international actor in child protection. Refugee adolescents (understood as any person aged between 11 and 19) are one of the most vulnerable age groups in situations of conflict and displacement. They are increasingly exposed to various forms of violations, such as physical, sexual, and psychological violence, exploitation, trafficking, and military recruitment (Schlecht et al., 2017). Yet, adolescents, especially females, are often overlooked in humanitarian programming that traditionally focuses on the experience of younger children or adults. The specificities of adolescents' experiences and needs are neglected in the existing academic literature and so there is a gap in capacity building resources for humanitarian organisations that work with them (Cuesta and Leone, 2020). This project thus focuses on adolescents to examine their specific experiences of displacement as well as their experiences as aid recipients in humanitarian crises. It contributes to a wider intellectual endeavour in the field of humanitarian studies to engage with the local context and the diverse experiences of vulnerable communities and incorporate them into effective humanitarian responses. Capturing adolescents' voices will help to improve academic understanding of the issues faced by a so far under-researched age group. The project can then offer an evidence-base to practitioners to improve age-specific programming that is currently based mainly on assumed rather than evidenced needs. Doing so is important because protecting, investing in, and empowering adolescents is essential not only to better protect children, but also to build inclusive communities and facilitate early recovery and development (UNICEF, 2020). To this end, the projects asks these key research questions:- What are the key challenges faced by refugee adolescents during conflict-related displacement?- What specific provisions do national and international organisations offer to this age group,in particular with a view on protection, and how do they relate to their actual needs?- How do adolescents experience the process of receiving assistance from the humanitarian community?- How do services provided to adolescents change their lives and communities?Answering these questions will enable academics and practitioners to understand the specific needs of this age group, and how far current programming is able to meet them. To make an impact on humanitarian programming, the project will be undertaken in partnership with Plan International. Alongside other actors in the field, the organisation has identified an urgent need to better include refugee adolescents in decision-making processes that affect their lives and the lives of their communities. Plan International considers these efforts as critical to empower children, young people, and their communities.
