The INSPIRE report is aimed at anyone working on violence against children (VAC), including within child marriage.

This framework developed by WHO includes seven strategies to address VAC: implementation and enforcement of laws; norms and values; safe environments; parent and caregiver support; income and economic strengthening; response and support services; and education and life skills.

Three of these strategies are expected to reduce child marriage, which is described as an important risk factor for violence against girls.
