A new study highlighting the impacts of gender-based violence (GBV) on adolescent girls and boys in Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict – co-authored by World Vision and NGO “Girls” – reveals that girls are more likely than boys to recognise the various forms of violence that GBV can take, while also being more susceptible to psychological violence.

Child-led research is about giving children a voice. Listening to their hopes and aspirations means that our projects and programmes must be more responsive to their needs and more impactful on their future. World Vision would not deliver projects in local communities without first talking to the people who live and work there and involving them in the decisions that affect their lives.
