Interest in data on violence against children has been gathering momentum in recent years. Nevertheless, data collection efforts overall are sporadic and national data systems remain underdeveloped. What is more, definitions of violence are inconsistent and unclear. What 'counts' as violence against children varies across data collection efforts, negatively impacting data quality. Significant investment - in the form of guidance as well as tools and other resources for capacity-building - is urgently required to respond to countries' data needs. The newly released International Classification of Violence against Children (ICVAC) holds potential for bringing the world one step closer to filling data gaps and thus promoting accountability towards the ambitious global goal of ending violence against children.
近年来，人们对儿童暴力数据的兴趣日益浓厚。然而，总的来说，数据收集工作仍零星分散，国家数据系统仍欠发达。更有甚者，暴力定义不一致且不明确。在数据收集工作中，什么是“暴力”存在差异，这对数据质量产生了负面影响。需要投入大量资金——包括指导意见以及能力建设工具和其他资源——来满足各国的数据需求。新发布的《国际儿童暴力分类》（ICVAC）有可能使世界在填补数据空白方面更进一步，从而促进实现结束儿童暴力这一雄心勃勃的全球目标的问责制。
