📣 Tomorrow! Launch: Adolescent Programming to Prevent Violence. Hosted by @UnicefFor , @UNICEFInnocenti and @UNICEF_uk 🗓️ Tuesday, 21 April at 10:00 AM (EDT) / 4:00 PM (CET) / 6:00 PM (EAT) Register Here: 🔗 @2e8b3e91-7b2d-435d-acda-a68ba2653e5a/registration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f15657ad… How does violence against children and violence against women intersect in adolescence? And how can different sectors work together to ensure that adolescents don't fall through the cracks of prevention efforts? Evidence shows that violence against children and violence against women intersect in multiple ways, and that adolescence is a particularly critical period, often marked by heightened vulnerability to certain forms of violence. At the same time, adolescents are often overlooked by both fields, falling between child‑focused and women‑focused prevention and response efforts. Join UNICEF Innocenti and UNICEF UK in the launch of the Adolescent Programming to Prevent Violence brief, part of the Evidence to Action series: Working at the Intersections of Violence Against Children and Violence Against Women #riseuptoendchildabuse
