DCI delivers statement at the launch of the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children, during the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (11-20 July, New York).
Violence against children is explicitly included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Target 16.2, calling for an end to abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children.
The Global Partnership to End Violence against Children will bring together stakeholders from across the world to end all forms of violence against children, turning the belief that no violence against children is justifiable and all violence is preventable into a compelling agenda for action.
