Data helps us understand reality and identify opportunities to prevent violence.

As part of our commitment to disseminating evidence-based information, we continue to share the main findings from the "Collective Action for Violence Prevention: Transforming Realities Through Prevention and Collective Action" event.

That's why we've created a summary of some of the data, statistics, and insights presented during this event, where experts from various sectors discussed topics related to violence against children and youth, substance use prevention, domestic violence, and sexual violence.
