Aproximadamente 1 de cada 3 mujeres y niñas mayores de 15 años han sufrido violencia física o sexual por parte de su pareja o violencia sexual fuera de la pareja a lo largo de su vida. Tanto el riesgo de violencia como los obstáculos a la hora de acceder a la atención y al apoyo son mayores para ciertos grupos de población, entre los que se encuentran las mujeres afrodescendientes, indígenas y de otros grupos étnicos de la Región. Este informe, publicado por la OPS/OMS, tiene como objetivos investigar este tema y, en base a los hallazgos, hacer un llamado a la acción a las partes interesadas de la Región de las Américas con el fin de prevenir este tipo de violencia

Violence in the school environment remains an ongoing challenge in educational institutions globally. Restorative practices (RP) have been implemented in educational settings to reduce school violence and improve emotional wellbeing and group cohesion. This systematic review examines their effectiveness in the school context. Findings indicate that RP reduces violence, improves emotional wellbeing, and promotes socio-emotional skills. 

Intimate Partner Infiltration (IPI)--a type of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that typically requires physical access to a victim's device, often manifests through digital surveillance, control, and monitoring. Unlike conventional cyberattacks, IPI perpetrators leverage close proximity and personal knowledge to circumvent standard protections, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This paper, published by a group of scholars from three universities across the US, propose an Automated IPI Detection system that continuously monitors for unauthorized access and suspicious behaviors on smartphones. The paper's findings suggest that AID can serve as a forensic tool within security clinics, scaling their ability to identify IPI tactics and deliver personalized, far-reaching support to survivors.

This article presents results from the OECD’s Survey on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) 2023. SSES is the largest international effort to collect data on these skills among 10- and 15-year-old students. The results show that students’ social and emotional skills – or 21st century skills – are linked to better life outcomes, including academic success, greater life satisfaction, healthier behaviours, less test and class anxiety, and more ambitious career plans. The Survey also finds that these skills are inequitably distributed among students by age, gender, and socio-economic background.

Adolescent girls face alarming rates of intimate partner violence. Among adolescent girls who have been in a relationship, nearly a quarter (24%) – close to 19 million – will have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence by the time they turn 20 years old, as highlighted by a new analysis from the World Health Organization (WHO) published today in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. Almost 1 in 6 (16%) experienced such violence in the past year.
