Global Strategies to Reduce Violence by 50% in 30 Years: Findings from the Global Violence Reduction Conference 2014

Report "Global Strategies to Reduce Violence by 50% in 30 Years"

“2015 is a chance to change history”, said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, referring to the post-2015 development agenda. This includes a chance to revolutionise our approach to violence. The report "Global Strategies to Reduce Violence by 50% in 30 Years" documents that, for the first time ever, policy makers, stakeholders and researchers are beginning to believe that we can find better ways everywhere to protect children from physical and sexual abuse, women from intimate partner violence, and young men from premature death and injury in drug wars and alcohol-related fighting.

Research and Advocacy

Our research is based on an approach which combines theoretical findings with empirical data. We work closely with academics and policy-making institutions, both nationally and internationally, to disseminate our research and promote the debate on violence prevention.
