Governments must do more to address interpersonal violence
Butchart, Alexander; Mikton, Christopher; Krug, Etienne
Abstract
The Global status report on violence prevention 2014,1 jointly published by WHO, UNDP, and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, was launched on Dec 11, 2014. For the first time, it assesses national efforts to address interpersonal violence, which includes child maltreatment, youth violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and elder abuse. It identifies gaps in violence prevention and suggests how to fill them. It does so by describing the extent to which 133 participating countries covering 88% of the world's population are collecting data on interpersonal violence, implementing violence-prevention programmes, enacting and enforcing relevant laws, and providing victim services.
