Building on the success of its first conference in May, the second forum will provide a platform for researchers and policymakers to discuss the impact of wars and conflicts on Arab families while taking into account contextual factors. It aims to investigate the role of national, regional, and international policies in promoting well-being and protection of Arab families under conditions of wars and conflicts. Through sessions and panel discussions, social scientists, policymakers, NGOs, and CSOs will interact.
