Now, WHO is focusing its efforts on identifying how to prevent such violence so that prevention efforts can complement health, legal and other service-delivery programmes that respond to the problem.
I also proposed funds to help schools develop successful violenceprevention and conflict-resolution programs like the one I had just observed at T. C. Williams High school in Alexandria, Virginia.
Other programmes, from help with birth-control and HIV-prevention to counselling against drug abuse and domestic violence, will be made smaller or eliminated altogether.
