Creating and scaling up the necessary solutions to put an end to violence against children will require much greater, and much more effective, collaboration across sectors of society than has been seen before. This report outlines why businesses are a vital campaign partner. 

World Vision looks for partnerships that leverage respective core knowledge, skills, resources and assets to create solutions that are more innovative, more transformational, more sustainable, more effective and/or more efficient than it or any of its partners could achieve on their own. Businesses should seek to ensure there is no violence against children present in the operations, products and services of their own business. They can also leverage the full extent of their business’ capabilities to develop new solutions, mobilise resources and influence change.
