Solutions to break the world's record of inaction on violence against children
We broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for the most countries represented at a childhood violence summit!
With 120 governments attending, this first ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children was the largest organized event to address this issue on a global scale.
Most importantly, as a result, we also broke the world’s record of inaction against childhood sexual violence.
The world's first-ever groundbreaking data on childhood sexual violence
Breaking the record of inaction to end childhood sexual violence
We now have the first-ever global prevalence figures on childhood sexual violence. The results are staggering but it doesn't have to be this way. Change is possible. We must continue to break the record of inaction. Equipped with this groundbreaking data, we have the tools we need to end childhood sexual violence.
How? As with many things in life, it all comes down to numbers. Because change begins with understanding, and understanding begins with measurement.
This book’s purpose is to measure and understand, so that in years to come the world can finally put an end to childhood sexual violence, for good. Visit www.BreakTheRecord.org to learn how you can take action.
