Violence against children is pervasive, but not inevitable. It is preventable. Like pervasive diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, we can diagnose and document violence against children, treat it and ultimately eradicate it. This topic will be the focus of a wide-ranging discussion that marks the publication of an important new book, Protecting the World’s Children: Public Health, Human Rights, Capabilities, co-edited by FXB Senior Fellow Susan Bissell and A.K. Shiva Kumar. The book includes the work of leading experts on the multi-faceted threats and violations facing today’s children.
