Publication Date: 2014
Abstract: "This report represents the progress countries have made in implementing the recommendations of the 2002 World report on violence and health. The specific aims of the report are to:
• Describe the state of the problem of interpersonal violence worldwide and the extent to which countries are collecting data on fatal and non-fatal violence to inform planning and action
• Assess the current status of program, policy and legislative measures to prevent violence
• Evaluate the availability of health care, social and legal services for victims of violence
• Identify gaps in tackling the problem of interpersonal violence and stimulate national action to address them
By giving an assessment of violence prevention efforts globally and a snapshot of these efforts by country, the report provides a starting point for tracking future progress and offers a benchmark that countries can use to assess their own progress."
