This edited volume offers a rich collection of up-to-date research
and critical scholarship from various African institutions on
incidents of youth violence, intervention and prevention in
sub-Saharan Africa. It integrates thinking, evidence, responses,
and debates relating to this topic, laying the basis for fresh
insights and innovative strategies. The chapters capture a spectrum
of pertinent issues such as economic hardship, lockdowns, sexual
and reproductive health, pregnancy, online sexual harassment,
xenophobic violence, and micro-aggressions in school contexts, and
present guidelines on how countries might learn from successful
interventions recently implemented. They explore young people's
access to familial and community resources, state-sponsored
initiatives, peer counselling, youth-friendly services, and other
relevant structures. Thus, among other things, this volume
stimulates further debate on what is driving violence in different
African contexts-specifically, how intersectional identities create
vulnerabilities to violence-and influences ways of dealing with the
issue. This interdisciplinary and cross-cutting volume serves as a
vital resource for experts at universities, in international
organisations, civil society groups and intergovernmental
organisations who wish to both analyse and take action to address
and prevent the type of violence that currently afflicts young
people sub-Saharan Africa today.
