Violence against children is a critical issue for human capital and economic development. It impacts on children’s schooling, their mental and physical health and their work performance as adults. UNICEF is supporting the Solomon Islands Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs, and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services to undertake a study on the economic cost of violence against children. The findings from this study will contribute towards evidence-based investments for child protection interventions in Solomon Islands.
