G20 Policy brief: Investing in children

Childhood violence costs the world $7 trillion every year between lost productivity and increased public spending. That’s more than the GDPs of Japan, Germany, and India. If that financial opportunity were a country, it would be the third richest nation on earth.

Return on Investment (ROI): 

  • Every $1 spent on prevention saves $7 in long-term costs (WHO, 2023).
  • Education & mental health support reduce future welfare dependency.

Call to action for G20 leaders (2025) We demand concrete commitments at the 2025 G20 Summit: 

  • Adopt a G20 Child Protection Investment Pact with measurable targets.
  • Allocate 1% of national budgets to violence prevention by 2030.
  • Launch a G20 Digital Safety Fund with private sector co-investment.
