- We helped individuals while harming persons: what conflict-affected communities deserve beyond beneficiary status (11.06.2026)
Conflict and displacement do more than destroy homes, livelihoods, and infrastructure. They also fracture the social relationships through which people sustain dignity, identity, and collective life.
