Protecting Children from Violence
Protecting Children from Violence: Data to Action
Transferring Data Into Action
Partners in the Implementation Science Collaborative (ISC) support efforts to ensure that data from studies is leveraged in a way that will strengthen policies and programs to end violence against children. In addition, the ISC connects countries that can learn from each other’s experiences in this arena. Read below to learn more about our data-to-action approach and the value of conducting and utilizing results from Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS).
Our Approach

Data
Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS), funded by CDC, have collected data on the prevalence of physical, sexual, and emotional violence among 13 to 24 year olds.

Action
National, regional and international partners help develop policies and programs that respond to the unique violence situations illuminated by the VACS.

Change
Countries implement informed policies and programs that will ultimately prevent and eliminate violence against children.
