A well-established and growing body of evidence demonstrates the multiple ways in which violence against children and violence against women intersect or overlap. This includes similar and compounding consequences for children’s and women’s health and well-being, and for child development.
This brief from UNICEF summarizes what is currently known about the ways violence against children and violence against women intersect and why addressing these intersections matters for children’s protection and wellbeing. It is the first in a series of evidence briefs designed to support UNICEF country offices and other organizations that care for children to integrate work on these intersections.
