Summary
This editorial by The Lancet draws connections between early childhood development, education and childhood violence, illustrating the need for early and cross-sectoral investments in children.
Specifically, The Lancet draws from Ending Violence in Childhood, a recent report from the Know Violence Initiative, the Lancet Series on Early Childhood Development, and a high-level UN conference Financing the Future: Education 2030 to express that addressing the barriers for children during early childhood will require a multi-sectoral approach.
