Global Status Report on Preventing Violence against Children Half of the world’s children, or approximately 1 billion children each year are affected by physical, sexual or psychological violence, suffering injuries, disabilities and death, because countries have failed to follow established strategies to protect them. This is according to a report launched by WHO and partners. Join us at 2pm CEST for a Facebook live session on preventing violence against children. Dr Alex Butchart who leads WHO’s work in violence prevention will talk about the tried and tested tools we have at hand to prevent violence against children and take questions from the public.
