English term or phrase: scale up
Violence is a central reason why so many women and children are left behind. The impact on health and wellbeing is dramatic, while violence and the fear of violence prevents many women and children from participating fully in their societies.
The rights of women and children to live free from fear and violence are recognized in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as its Optional Protocols, and other human rights instruments.
The 2030 Agenda sets targets for all countries to intensify action to end violence and to fulfill these rights. It also focuses attention on specific forms of abuse, such as child marriage, female genital mutilation, and child labor, and for a renewed effort to end trafficking and modern slavery.
But there is increasingly powerful evidence to show that violence against women and children can be prevented, including through their own active participation and leadership and through the engagement of men and boys.
We have an opportunity to scale up proven policies and programs, while meeting the needs of those affected by violence and protecting them from further victimization.
