biennial report 2006-2007 (2008)
The biennial report describes highlights of activities conducted by WHO regional and country offices and headquarters in this area of work during the past two years. As governmental agencies and civil society organizations become increasingly aware of the strain that violence and injuries place on their communities, they are responding by strengthening data collection systems, improving services for victims and survivors and increasing prevention efforts. They are also identifying ways to ensure that people with disabilities are able to participate fully in their societies.
