WHO Report on Violence and Health
On 3rd October 2002 the World Health Organization (WHO) released the first World report on violence and health. The report looked at a broad range of violence, child abuse and neglect, youth violence, partner abuse, sexual abuse, elder abuse, self directed violence and collective community violence. It is hoped that the report will catalyse the implementation of local, national and international interventions to prevent ongoing abuse (Zwi et al., 2002).
