Innocenti Research Briefs Shared Global Research Priorities for the Intersections between Violence against Children and Violence against Women AUTHOR(S) Alessandra Guedes; Floriza Gennari; Claudia García-Moreno; Elizabeth Dartnall; Aník Gevers Published: 2022 Innocenti Research Briefs There is growing global recognition that violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) intersect in different ways. The Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), the UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti and the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP) hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO) partnered to coordinate a global, participatory process to identify research priorities for the intersections between VAC and VAW. Identifying research priorities helps to advance the field in a more structured way and serves to monitor progress against initial evidence gaps. Whilst priorities are important, the way in which these priorities are set is also important, especially for ownership, contextualisation and use. Inclusive, participatory research setting serves to promote a diversity of voices – especially from low-and middle-income country (LMIC) settings – which historically lack representation, and minimize the risk of biases when establishing research priorities. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Violence Against Children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Alessandra Guedes; Floriza Gennari; Claudia García-Moreno; Elizabeth Dartnall; Aník Gevers 2022 Shared Global Research Priorities for the Intersections between Violence against Children and Violence against Women.

Innocenti Working Papers The Impact of Community Violence on Educational Outcomes: A review of the literature AUTHOR(S) Cirenia Chávez; Marcela Aguilar Published: 2021 Innocenti Working Papers In recent decades, violence in and around schools has become a serious concern in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is not a new or isolated phenomenon, nor is it limited to certain schools or countries. While much of the literature connecting violence and schools has focused on bullying, it has overlooked how violence in other environments, in families and in communities, affects children’s education and their learning outcomes. Latin America and the Caribbean is home to 9 out of the 10 countries with the highest rates of violence in the world. Yet, the prevalence of bullying in schools is one of the lowest in comparison to other regions, suggesting that this is not the most concerning form of violence impacting children’s educational experiences. This literature review summarizes existing evidence on the impacts of community violence on academic achievement as well as on other educational outcomes – including dropping out, absenteeism, truancy, enrolment and attendance – and highlights policy and research implications. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Education, Violence Against Children | Tags: communities, drop-outs, education, family environment, learning, violence, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Cirenia Chávez; Marcela Aguilar 2021 The Impact of Community Violence on Educational Outcomes: A review of the literature.
