They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity. It is critical that no one is left behind. In 2015, all the countries in the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It sets out 17 Goals, which include 169 targets. These wide-ranging and ambitious Goals interconnect. SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It has 13 targets measured through 26 indicators. However, a person’s health and well-being are affected not only by disease and treatment, but also by social and economic factors such as housing, poverty and education. Health targets can therefore also be found across the other SDGs. The fact sheets, which include essential facts and figures and identify the challenges, commitments and progress made on each key topic, are a valuable source of information for policy-makers. Interpersonal violence is an increasingly serious threat to the attainment of the SDGs, particularly those targeting health and well-being, gender equality and peace and justice. Action is necessary across all sectors and settings to prevent and respond to interpersonal violence and to alleviate the impacts on current and future generations. Addressing risk factors across the SDGs provides a strong opportunity to tackle some of the main causes of interpersonal violence.enSustainable DevelopmentGlobal HealthUnited NationsDomestic ViolenceIntimate Partner ViolenceGender-Based ViolencePhysical AbuseEmotional AbuseChild AbuseChild Abuse, SexualElder AbuseSex OffensesRisk FactorsIntersectoral CollaborationEuropeTechnical Documentsprevention and control
