This webinar will celebrate a decade of evidence in action and highlight the next phase of INSPIRE’s global implementation and research agenda. It will bring together global leaders, researchers, and practitioners to discuss what the new evidence means for countries, sectors, and systems working to end violence against children.
More about this session:
Since 2016, INSPIRE has guided national action plans, donor investments, and multi-sectoral coordination across more than 100 countries, uniting governments, researchers, and practitioners around a shared vision: that violence against children is not inevitable—it is preventable.
Now, a decade later, the global community marks this milestone with the release of the INSPIRE Evidence Update in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. This landmark research synthesizes data from over 200 systematic reviews and an estimated 3,000 primary studies—the most comprehensive global analysis of interventions to prevent, reduce, and respond to violence against children. The findings confirm that every INSPIRE strategy now includes at least one intervention with strong and consistent evidence of effectiveness
In this webinar we will:
1. Launch the INSPIRE Evidence Update, published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, and present key findings from the global meta-review.
2. Reflect on 10 years of INSPIRE, highlighting how the framework and its supporting resources (the INSPIRE Handbook, Indicator Guidance and Results Framework, and Adaptation and Scale-Up Guide) have driven national and global progress.
3. Discuss the next decade of INSPIRE, including the new INSPIRE Working Group strategy and its three workstreams: Evidence, Global Capacity Strengthening, and Communications & Advocacy.
4. Engage regional and global stakeholders in dialogue on how to apply the latest evidence and strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration to scale up prevention.
