The Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children (End Violence) offers an opportunity for governments, United Nations agencies, international organizations, civil society, faith groups, the private sector, philanthropic foundations, researchers and academics, and children themselves, to work together – with a greater sense of urgency, passion and commitment – to prevent and respond to violence against children.
Ten agencies with a long history of galvanizing a consistent, evidence-based approach to preventing violence against children (VAC) have collaborated to develop INSPIRE. INSPIRE is a new tool that draws on existing evidence to promote seven strategies in response to VAC: (1) implementation and enforcement of laws; (2) norms and values; (3) safe environments; (4) parent and caregiver support; (5) income and economic strengthening; (6) response and support services; and (7) education and life skills.
The End Violence business plan calls for scaled implementation of INSPIRE and related evidence-based interventions and increased accountability by countries for supporting comprehensive multisectoral action plans and strategies.
- Introduce the INSPIRE framework, along with the accompanying implementation manuals and monitoring framework.
- Present concrete examples of how countries and organizations are utilizing the INSPIRE framework to guide action.
