Know Violence in Childhood: A Global Learning Initiative (or Know Violence) and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) are pleased to announce a unique Learning Event to disseminate and discuss Know Violence´s Global Report 2017 Ending Violence in Childhood.

Ending Violence in Childhood documents the scale of violence experienced by millions of the world´s children in their everyday lives and relationships, in their homes, schools and communities. The Report is a culmination of almost three years of work by academics and practitioners from different disciplines and sectors working together to examine existing data, and commissioning new research on the causes and consequences of childhood violence, as well as the evidence on effective strategies for the prevention of violence.

The Learning Event will provide a detailed debrief on the evidence base used in the global report to participants representing researchers, program and policy experts and other interested stakeholders from civil society and relevant international organizations.
