Abstract

Notwithstanding that global road death and injury are widespread phenomonia that lack precedence and concerted efforts, they remain a crisis that can be put right to each and every child's advantage. Undeniably, our most vulnerable citizens have human rights too and as the former president of South Africa, the late Nelson Rolihlahla Mandella instructed, we owe our children the right to a life that is free from violence and fear -- to support vulnerable children at risk and advance the value of their lives. Road crash deaths and injuries are the most profound, most pervasive colbal violation of the right to a life free from violence. We must address this urgently, committing the resources required to avert this epidemic.
