dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Play is a fundamental right of every child and one of their most important needs. However, despite the countless benefits of play for children’s wellbeing and development, it is often overlooked in public policies, and especially so in the situation of political conflict and social unrest.Methods: Drawing from the children’s rights framework, this qualitative study explores the role of play for the psychological recovery and social reintegration of children affected by political and social violence. It does so within the wider framework of peace studies and includes the exploration of children’s conceptions of peace and the question of how play can contribute to promoting a culture of peace in violence-stricken societies. Through play-based focus groups with child migrants and refugees in Chile, we explored their own views on the therapeutic and peace-building potential of play as a response to selfreportedproblems. Results: The children in our study told a dual story: a story of trauma and violence, and another one about hope, friendship, and resilience, all of whichwere greatly facilitated by play.Conclusion: For that reason, as representatives of children’s vulnerable voices,we advocate for the greater and more systematic provision of children’s right toplay in conflict zones and its inclusion in peace-building programs.
