Parenting programs, including center-based and home-visiting programs, reduce risk factors linked to violence, strengthen protective family environments, and provide an opportunity for early identification of potential harm.
Home visiting programs can provide tailored safeguarding guidance while center-based programs can provide skill building and peer support.
Two-thirds of countries have both home visiting programs and center-based parenting support programs, while 10 have one of the two, and 7 have neither.
| Indicator | What it measures | Why it matters | Score range |
|---|---|---|---|

From indicators to budget lines
Use this as a guide to strengthen your advocacy requests and create targeted ‘asks’ to decision-makers within the right Ministry (for example: Foreign Affairs, Social Welfare, or Finance)
| Indicator | What it tracks | Budget-line-to target | Ready-to-use language |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 Parenting and caregiver support | Whether home visiting programs and/or center-based parenting support are available | Ministry of Health / Social Welfare: home visiting programs, parenting centers, community health worker deployment, family support services | “Allocate [amount] to establish and scale both home visiting and center-based parenting support programs in [number] districts, equipping parents and caregivers to protect children from sexual violence.” |
How to put a number on your ask
Break your ask into building blocks a Finance Ministry would recognize. Even a rough component-based estimate signals seriousness:
| Indicator | Examples of components to estimate |
|---|---|
| 2.2 Parenting and caregiver support | Home visiting program staffing and training; community-based parenting centers; outreach and recruitment; program materials; supervision and quality assurance |

Third Richest Nation
www.bravemovement.org/campaigns/third-richest-nation
A world without childhood violence would be $7 trillion richer. This nation isn’t real. Its wealth could be. Brave Movement's survivor-led advocacy campaign at the G20 in 2025 pressured decision makers to invest in prevention, healing and justice to create stronger, happier nations.
#BeBrave G7 Scorecard 2025
www.bravemovement.org/g7
By evaluating each G7 nation’s progress on vital policy measures we're drawing global attention to the global, silent pandemic of sexual violence against children. This is a crisis that undermines the G7's commitment to building secure, prosperous, and equitable societies. Kids need bold leadership and decisive action now to be safe and thrive.
Break the record
www.togetherforgirls.org/en/press/a-record-breaking-event-now-governments-must-deliver
We broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for the most countries represented at a childhood violence summit! With 120 governments attending, this first ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children was the largest organized event to address this issue on a global scale. Most importantly, as a result, we also broke the world’s record of inaction against childhood sexual violence.
