There was no statistically significant association for past short-term exposure to political violence. Full paper openaccess: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @togetherforgirls.org @acleddata.bsky.social @thesvri.bsky.social @unicefinnocenti.bsky.social @isdcberlin.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social 4/4

Past political violence and interpersonal violence against children and youth in Africa - Nature Communications

We find that a one stdev increase in past long-term exposure to political violence increases odds of adolescents and young adults experiencing emotional violence from family members by 5.5%, physical violence from intimate partners by 3.0%, and #sexualviolence in poorer households by 16.9%. 3/4

We estimate this with micro data from 9 countries in #Africa, merging nationally representative Violence Against Children and Youth Survey (#VACS) data with Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (#ACLED) for #Côted’Ivoire #Kenya #Malawi #Mozambique #Namibia #Nigeria #Uganda #Zambia #Zimbabwe. 2/4

Political violence (the use of force by groups for political motives) adversely affects #children and #youth, but there is limited rigorous evidence on if exposure to #politicalviolence is associated with a higher risk of subsequent interpersonal violence against adolescents and young adults. 1/4

What did we learn❓ Our analysis offers nuanced insights into the mechanisms linking individual pandemic exposure to food insecurity and provides valuable implications for designing targeted policy interventions to protect vulnerable households in low- and middle-income countries. 7/n

Our approach: To overcome these gaps, we examine the impact of COVID-19 exposure on food security in four African countries – #Uganda, #Tanzania, #SierraLeone, and #Mozambique – using large-scale phone survey data collected throughout 2021. 5/n

Tilman Brück @tilmanbrueck.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
How did we advance the literature? Most studies on this topic rely on aggregate-level exposure measures, overlooking individual-level heterogeneity and introducing measurement errors that limit causal inference. 4/n

Tilman Brück @tilmanbrueck.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
2️⃣ Our analysis identifies significant declines in household income in COVID-19 exposed areas as primary drivers of worsened food insecurity. 3️⃣ Vulnerable households often lacked financial support from governments, leading them to adopt harmful coping strategies. 3/n

Tilman Brück @tilmanbrueck.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
We have three specific findings: 1️⃣ We find particularly pronounced impacts among households characterized by large family sizes, limited access to public services, fewer assets, and with female, younger, and less educated household heads. 2/n

Ukraine is also fighting for our freedom. Fighting is costly. But not fighting is far costlier. Europe must fund and equip Ukraine‘s defence against tyranny, with or without the support of the USA. Peace and security are too valuable to be decided by countries not sharing our values.

Taken together, our findings underscore the importance of providing adequate social safety nets for poor households to deal with income shocks under protracted lockdowns since households can only cope with short lockdowns without employing harmful adaptation mechanisms. 8/n
