DOV coordination office joins the WHO's Violence Prevention Alliance

 

The WCC's DOV office has joined the World Health Organization's Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA).

 

The VPA is a network of WHO Member States, international agencies and civil society organizations working to prevent violence. Its aim is to build commitment to violence prevention.

 

The DOV office encourages churches to look for ways to connect to violence prevention initiatives on local and national levels.

"Violence is preventable, not unavoidable..."
