The WHO Global Health Estimates show that nearly half a million deaths (493 471) occurred in the WHO European Region due to violence and injuries in 2016. This represents a decline of 29% from 2000. Injuries account for 5.3% of all deaths and 9.6 of all years of life lost. They are a leading cause of death in people aged 15–29 years and the second leading cause of death for young people aged 5–14. The three leading causes of injury deaths are self-directed violence (141 089), falls (83 325) and road-traffic injuries (78 198). Inequalities in injury deaths exist in the Region, with mortality rates 2.4 times higher in males than in females and 1.5 times higher in middle-income compared to high-income countries

As this report shows, reports of child abuse and of children witnessing violence between their parents and caregivers have increased. Ending violence against children is increasingly within our reach.

The report – Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020 – is the first of its kind, charting progress in 155 countries against the “INSPIRE” framework, a set of seven strategies for preventing and responding to violence against children. The report signals a clear need in all countries to scale up efforts to implement them. While nearly all countries (88%) have key laws in place to protect children against violence, less than half of countries (47%) said these were being strongly enforced. The report includes the first ever global homicide estimates specifically for children under 18 years of age – previous estimates were based on data that included 18 to 19-year olds. It finds that, in 2017, around 40,000 children were victims of homicide

The Rethabile positive parenting activity is being run by 4Children Lesotho with caregivers and teens ages 9 to 24 for the purpose of reducing harsh parenting practices (i.e., violence) and improving positive parenting practices.

La Gobernabilidad/Gobernanza en Derechos de la Niñez (CRG) es una de cinco áreas temáticas establecidas como tema global para implementar la estrategia hacia el 2030 de Save the Children. El trabajo de CRG busca ayudar a construir sociedades donde una gobernanza atenta, inclusiva y que rinda cuentas, garantice los derechos de cada niña y niño y donde cada niña y niño pueda tener una voz en las decisiones que les afectan. Es una estrategia para apoyar los estados en la implementación efectiva de la Convención de los Derechos del Niño y otras obligaciones relacionadas a los Derechos de la Niñez (DDNN). Se trata de apoyar y trabajar junto a una activa sociedad civil, incluyendo a niñas y niños en el monitoreo de la situación de los DDNN en su país, y levantando alto en la agenda política los temas de niñez. Integrar los DDNN en leyes, políticas y presupuestos es una etrategia efectiva para lograr cambios sistemáticos y positivos en la vida de niñas, niños y adolescentes, hoy y en el futuro
