Launch Event: Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020

At this event, the Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020 will be launched by the WHO Director-General, UNICEF, UNESCO, the Office of the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children, and the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children

The Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020 is the first report of its kind focused on violence against children, covering child maltreatment, bullying and other types of youth violence, and intimate partner violence.

Developed by the WHO in collaboration with the co-sponsoring agencies noted above, the report explores the progress made in 155 countries in implementing the INSPIRE technical package. It provides a baseline against which governments can monitor their progress toward reaching their SDG commitments, and in helping children to stay safe during COVID-19 and beyond.
