Case Studies: Young People Advisors INSPIRE Case Studies
Young people and their perspectives are key to ending violence against children. Yet their inputs and insights are often missing from research and interventions. The End Violence Lab at the University of Edinburgh, along with partner universities, created the Young People Advisors (YPA) programme to better understand how to meaningfully engage young people in the work being done to prevent violence against children.
As a part of a series of youth-centred activities for YPA, youth volunteers were trained to be involved in the process of conducting a global systemic review of the seven INSPIRE strategies. The review aimed to identify ‘accelerators’ or interventions that have positive impacts across multiple SDG targets. Youth volunteers from five countries – Brazil, China, Colombia, Cote d’Ivore, and Uganda – looked into the implementation and outcomes of specific INSPIRE interventions. As a result of their participation, five case studies were produced – each of which assessed the successes and challenges of interventions. The five case studies provide a unique context- and age-specific perspective by youth often missing from research and interventions undertaken for children. They incorporate research, review, and recommendations by young people.
