Evidence review of violence against children in Africa
Big Win Philanthropy has undertaken an evidence review of the benefits for human and economic development of preventing violence against children. Physical and sexual violence at home, at school and in the community affects around two thirds of all children in Africa and is an economic issue as well as a moral one.
2/3 of children in Africa suffer violence
Brain development is impaired
GDP is reduced by around 3-4%
40-60% reduction in violence is achieved by some prevention programs
