The Multi-Country Study on the Drivers of Violence Affecting Children

Vulnerability to violence evolves in complex socio-economic and cultural contexts. It also begins to identify pathways to better inform national prevention strategies. The study places age and gender at its center, focusing on girls and boys at different stages of the life course, from the very young to older adolescents. This snapshot provides insights to the complexities that surround violence. Understanding and responding to the political as well as community contexts in which violence occurs builds more meaningful responses.
