Resumen
Descripción
It is increasingly recognized that young
people are central to issues of crime and violence in South
Africa. While research, policy and programming have
historically focused on children and adults, there is a
growing emphasis on youth as both victims and perpetrators
of violence. This report presents the findings of a country
assessment commissioned by the World Bank to support its
incorporating human rights into youth violence programming
and policy dialogues in Mexico and South Africa project.
This aims to encourage policy dialogue on youth and violence
with the South African government and other stakeholders.
The report: (i) examines the current situation of youth
violence in South Africa; (ii) summarizes the policy
response by the government and the prevailing legal and
institutional framework; (iii) identifies innovative
programming by civil society organisations; and (iv)
identifies entry points for deeper policy dialogue and
improved interventions to address youth violence.
