Preventing Violence Against Young Children: A Scoping Review Of Interventions In Low- And Middle-Countries

Dr. Lenette Azzi-Lessing, Clinical Professor of Social Work, at BU, and Dr. Margaret Lombe, Associate Professor of Social Work, at BU, were the recipients of a University-Community Partnership Research Award funded by the BU Wheelock Institute for Early Childhood Well-Being. We are excited to share a publication of their research: Preventing Violence Against Young Children, in which their goal is to build a knowledge base that will facilitate the development of an innovative, evidence-based, and community-informed pilot project to prevent violence against young children in a marginalized community in South Africa and will further inform the efforts of policymakers, practitioners, and other researchers in South Africa and other Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Additionally, they partnered with The Children’s Institute, University of Cape Town, South Africa, And True North, Vrygrond, South Africa. To learn more read the VAC screening report linked.
