“It gives me hope to see when the data is translated into laws, children become safer. We know the impact VACS has. We know we can and must do more to collect the VACS data in more countries.” Leila Milani, FUTURES Program Director.

[FUTURES @WithoutViolence]

We know data drives action. That’s why we’re on the Hill asking Congress to fund Violence Against Children Surveys (VACS) which allows ⁦@CDCgov⁩ & ⁦@together4girls⁩ to collect information from young people globally about sexual, physical and emotional violence.
