Understanding the Effects of Armed Conflict on Child Wellbeing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Armed Conflict and Its Effects on Child Wellbeing
The ongoing armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has profound implications for child wellbeing. In eastern DRC, children are faced with unique challenges that affect their education and social interactions. Gender differences emerge significantly:

- Girls tend to foster a better relationship with their families and educators.
- Boys, on the other hand, are often more invested in friendship networks.
This study emphasizes the critical nature of understanding how these variations can inform strategies for supporting children's development during conflict.
