Across the world up to one billion children have experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence in the past year.  The World Health Organization has published INSPIRE: seven strategies for ending violence against children as an evidence based resource aimed at government strategists, community groups, the private sector and health workers. 

The strategies selected have been shown to be effective in reducing violence against children.  They are categorised as:  Implementation and enforcement of laws; Norms and values; Safe environments; Parent and caregiver support; Income and economic strengthening; Response and support services; and Education and life skills.
