Food insecurity, famine and resulting displacement are again increasing around the world. The International Center for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma webinar will focus on their origins and explore how these challenges are being met. Presenters will provide both a historical and a contemporary context for understanding how hunger continues to be used as a weapon of war and subjugation by focusing on a number of case studies, including Ireland, Ukraine, India and Latin America. They will explore how to prevent the ‘politicization of humanitarian need’, which impacts disproportionately on the already most vulnerable in society while further creating trauma legacies for succeeding generations.
