Summary 

The Violence Against Children Study (VACS) is a global effort to collect data on violence against children. The study monitors the prevalence of domestic violence, sexual violence, emotional violence, and exploitation. VACS aims to inform prevention efforts, policy regarding child safety, and the utilization of health services.  

The 2019 Mozambique VACS is a nationally representative household survey of 13-24-year-old females and males. The survey was conducted between July and September 2019, in 385 randomly selected primary sampling units (PSUs). The Mozambique VACS over-sampled females in Gaza and Zambezia, which are both priority regions for the PEPFAR program DREAMS.
