Friday, 2 December 2022 Launch of the Global Report on Health Equity for Persons with Disabilities More than 1 billion people worldwide experience disability, and this number is growing, driven by increased numbers of people with noncommunicable diseases, who are also living longer and ageing with limitations in functioning. Persons with disabilities face many health inequities when trying to access the health care they need and are more affected by health emergencies than the general population. These inequities in health outcomes cannot only be explained by an underlying health condition or impairment but are driven by certain factors. They are linked to inequitable health service delivery models, inaccessible public health interventions, and little consideration given to persons with disabilities during health emergency planning.

What works to prevent online violence against children: launch of new guidelines The report What works to prevent online violence against children highlights the dangers faced by children when using digital communication technologies and provides strategies and best practices to prevent online violence against children. It focuses specifically on two forms of online violence: child sexual abuse including grooming and sexual image abuse; and cyber aggression and harassment such as cyberbullying, cyberstalking, hacking and identity theft. Violence is a major driver of poor health globally, both directly through physical and psychological injuries it causes and indirectly through its impact on families, communities and society. Online violence against children is a particularly toxic form of violence because of its capacity to disrupt normal child development, leading to a lifetime of poor physical and mental health.
