Myriam Denov is a Full Professor at McGill University and holds the Canada Research Chair in Youth, Gender and Armed Conflict. Her work focuses on war-affected children and families, particularly those impacted by the 1994 Rwandan genocide and its intergenerational consequences. Through participatory research methods, she has conducted extensive fieldwork in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, including interviews with 44 mothers and 60 children born from conflict-related sexual violence in Rwanda.
Her research highlights the complex legacy of wartime sexual violence, where 250,000-500,000 women were raped during the Rwandan genocide, resulting in 10,000-25,000 children born from rape. These children face systemic exclusion from survivor support programs and ongoing social stigmatization as "children of hate." Denov's publications include Child Soldiers: Sierra Leone’s Revolutionary United Front and Children Affected by Armed Conflict: Theory, Method & Practice.
