Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) along with the Centers for Disease Control, the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Together for Girls, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children came together to create an evidence-based technical package, INSPIRE. It contains solutions to help countries and communities prevent and respond to violence against children and adolescents. INSPIRE builds on the knowledge contained in the CDC-developed THRIVES technical package, and targets what is predictable and preventable about violence. INSPIRE also urges countries and communities to provide support and services when children are victimized.
