N2  - Very few survivors of violence ever tell anyone about their experiences, or access services to seek justice and help them heal, despite devastating behavioural, physical and mental health consequences, and the widespread availability of evidence-based solutions such as the INSPIRE strategies. Testimonials raise awareness and encourage action through powerful and emotive storytelling of firsthand experiences. The videos on this page feature the stories of the following individuals who have courageously shared their experiences of violence, how it affected them, and which interventions helped them:  
Ruby (Philippines, 20+, female);

Florence (Kenya, 30+, female);

Jeremy (New Zealand, 50+, male);

Stewart (Canada, 50+, male);

Eugenie (Switzerland, 80+, female).

The personal accounts clearly show that violence against children is a universal issue that takes place in every country and community, cutting across socio-economic and cultural contexts. (From the video page). 

This 13-min documentary, which is the centerpiece of the package, is available in English and the other five United Nations languages, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. The English language video includes onscreen text. A 5-minuite version and five 1-minute versions suitable for social media are also available. The 2-page toolkit provides background to this project and describes how the videos will be used to bring about change. (From the toolkit). Record #7204
