SUMMARY:Data as a catalyst for change: the Violence Against Children a
 nd Youth Surveys
DESCRIPTION:\r\n\r\nAs the world grapples with the health crisis cause
 d by the COVID-19 pandemic, a shadow pandemic of violence against chil
 dren is quickly emerging. Calls to child helplines and domestic violen
 ce hotlines, point to a spike in levels of violence since stay-at-home
  measures were put in place. \r\n\r\nThese trends are consistent with 
 data from past humanitarian and economic crises. Faced with limited da
 ta, we must rely on existing data to prevent and respond to violence a
 gainst children during and after the pandemic. To estimate levels of v
 iolence during COVID-19, it is important to know to understand the mag
 nitude and nature of violence against children before the pandemic. Da
 ta from the Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS), popula
 tion-based household surveys, show that children and youth already exp
 erienced high rates of physical, sexual and emotional violence, with o
 ften devastating immediate and long-term consequences. National govern
 ments lead the implementation of the VACS, with support from the US Ce
 nters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the Together
  for Girls (TfG) partnership. We now have data for over 20 countries a
 nd approximately 10% of the world’s population under 24. The VACS ge
 nerate data for children, adolescents, and young people on the prevale
 nce and incidence of physical, sexual, and emotional violence as well 
 as risk and protective factors, consequences of violence, and access t
 o services. Currently, 10 countries have made their VACS datasets publ
 icly available for secondary analyses. Researchers and practitioners c
 an request access to the datasets through Together for Girls. The avai
 lable data can help answer important research questions and further ou
 r understanding of violence against children. The availability of the 
 datasets for additional analyses is especially important in light of C
 OVID-19 and the significant barriers to primary data collection. \r\n\
