Summary
The strategy was developed in response to the 2019 Violence Against Children and Youth Survey (VACS) in Namibia, which showed that girls and boys experienced high rates of physical, emotional, and sexual violence. Based on the data, and through the post-survey Data-to-Action process, the Government of Namibia focused on positive parenting as a key tactic to address the violence. Given Lifeline/Childline Namibia’s experience in running gender-related positive parenting programs, they tapped the organization to create a technical working group to develop the nation’s first violence-prevention National Strategy for Parents and Caregivers.
