INSPIRE

INSPIRE is an evidence-based resource for everyone committed to preventing and responding to violence against children and adolescents – from government to grassroots, and from civil society to the private sector. It represents a select group of strategies based on the best available evidence tohelp countries and communities intensify their focus on the prevention programmes and services with the greatest potential to reduce violence against children. The seven strategies are:

• Implementation and enforcement of laws;
• Norms and values;
• Safe environments;
• Parent and caregiver support;
• Income and economic strengthening;
• Response and support services; and
• Education and life skills.

Additionally, INSPIRE includes two cross-cutting activities that together help connect and strengthen – and assess progress towards – the seven strategies.
