Violence

Images of violence are all around us, including on the Internet. However, some excellent Websites have been created by organisations who are working hard to safeguard children and young people, protect girls and women, break cycles of violence and foster a more peaceful world. We strongly recommend the following sites, most of which contain links to additional resources:

• UNICEF. Voices of Youth: Violence, War and Conflict voicesofyouth.org/sections/violence-war-and-conflict/pages/the-big-picture
• Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence www.jhsph.edu/research/centers-and-institutes/center-for-prevention-of-youth-violence
