Paragraph text
WHO remains a critical partner in the process of follow-up to the United Nations study. Violence prevention and the promotion of sound evidence, two priority recommendations of the study, are high on the WHO agenda, as illustrated by its work in the prevention of sexual violence against girls, the development of new estimates on the prevalence and health impact of child maltreatment, and the promotion of national surveys in this field. In 2011, collaboration will be pursued in these areas, with particular emphasis on data collection and analysis of violence against children in the home and the community.
