In 2008, Taliban forces killed four aid workers in Afghanistan. Immediately afterwards, expatriate and national field staff undertook crisis management activities on the ground. While this was a devastating event, field and headquarters staff agreed that the organisational response to the crisis was positive.

Since the 1980s, increased attention has been paid to the experience of girls and women in refugee and humanitarian research, however, much less attention has been paid to boys and men. The purpose of this systematic scoping review was to investigate whether there is a gender bias in refugee and humanitarian research on refugee trauma.

Abstract

Honderdduizenden mensen lijden ernstig en langdurig aan posttraumatisch stresssyndroom. Conventionele therapieën bieden pakweg de helft soelaas. Maar oorlogsveteranen in de VS blijken veel baat te hebben bij een nieuwe therapie, met xtc-grondstof mdma. Ook in Nederland komt een proef.
