Just as terrorism impacts human rights, so too can counter terrorism measures like surveillance, street policing and suspicion-less stop and search measures be detrimental to the functioning of society. It is imperative that when countries pursue counter-terrorism strategies, they work in tandem with efforts to ensure human rights protection. This chapter draws from scholarly work focused on children and youth in disasters, specifically Muslim minority children in the US to underscore the importance of taking into account their missing perspectives in counter-terrorism strategies. In light of social consequences of the socio-political transformations associated with terrorism, only trauma focused analysis of children and youth post event prove to be inadequate. There is an urgent need to examine the broader social context and the differences between majority and minority children to develop prevention and intervention programs. These could include education and cultural sensitivity training to multiple stakeholders including K-12 programs in making school environments safer and more inclusive.
