Webinar: Working at the Intersections of Violence Against Children and Violence Against Women

1 in 4 children globally live with a mother or female caregiver experiencing intimate partner violence.

These children suffer the same negative effects as when they are direct victims of violence, and they are also more likely to experience violent discipline.

UNICEF, UN Women, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), World Health Organization, and The World Bank for the launch of a new Evidence-to-Action series and infographic by UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight identify opportunities to coordinate efforts to address violence against children and violence against women.
