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

该奖学金旨在捕捉年轻难民的声音，并通过与国际计划合作，帮助他们融入人道主义方案。国际计划是儿童保护领域的一个重要国际行动者。难民青少年（理解为年龄在11至19岁之间的任何人）是冲突和流离失所局势中最脆弱的年龄组之一。他们越来越多地遭受各种形式的侵犯，如身体、性和心理暴力、剥削、贩运和征兵（Schlecht et al., 2017）。然而，青少年，特别是女性，在人道主义方案中往往被忽视，传统上侧重于年幼儿童或成人的经验。在现有的学术文献中，青少年的经历和需求的特殊性被忽视了，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）。因此，该项目以青少年为重点，审查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受援者的经历。它有助于在人道主义研究领域进行更广泛的智力努力，以参与当地背景和弱势社区的各种经验，并将其纳入有效的人道主义反应。捕捉青少年的声音将有助于提高对这个迄今研究不足的年龄组所面临问题的学术理解。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证据需求的针对特定年龄的规划。这样做很重要，因为保护、投资和赋予青少年权力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，这些项目提出了以下关键研究问题：-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，特别是在保护方面，以及这些规定如何与他们的实际需要联系起来？-青少年在接受人道主义社会援助的过程中有什么经历？-向青少年提供的服务如何改变他们的生活和社区？回答这些问题将使学者和从业者能够了解这个年龄组的具体需求，以及当前的编程能够满足他们的程度。为了对人道主义方案产生影响，该项目将与国际培幼会合作进行。本组织与该领域的其他行动者一道，确定迫切需要将难民青少年更好地纳入影响其生活及其社区生活的决策过程。国际培幼会认为这些努力对赋予儿童、年轻人及其社区权力至关重要。

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.
