The Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security

The Dallaire Institute was created with the unique premise that preventing violence against children requires a dual lens approach. We are focused on prioritizing the protection of children, as well as understanding the significant operational impacts upon security sector actors.

Through innovative approaches to knowledge creation and dissemination, we bridge security and humanitarian perspectives and responses to create a holistic approach to the issues of children affected by armed violence. Drawing on our vast expertise and the breadth of perspectives of those with lived experience, we provide policy guidance, work to increase awareness and political will, build operational effectiveness in security institutions and engage communities.
