Inspired by INSPIRE

Multi-sectoral responses to the seven strategies of the INSPIRE package to end violence against children in South Africa.

In April 2019 the Institute for Security Studies and Save the Children South Africa partnered to convene a series of workshops to gather information about how the country is responding to prevent and reduce violence against children. The report identifies the gaps and shortcomings that need to be addressed to effectively prevent violence against children.
