In this seminar, the effects of the pandemic on peace and conflict in general will be discussed. In the seminar, which is planned to start from the macro level and go down to the micro level, the effects of the pandemic on underdeveloped countries and conflict zones will be discussed first. Particularly, the micro-level topics, which are found to be less discussed in the Turkish public, will be examined with the participation of experts in the field. In this context, the effects of the pandemic, especially on the displaced people, immigrants and refugees, women, youth and children, and what needs to be done to eliminate the effects will be discussed.
