AIP Foundation mobilized students, teachers, and community leaders across Vietnam, China, and Cambodia in support of the Child Health Initiative’s week of action held from May 21-27. The new campaign calls for a first ever summit of world leaders on child and adolescent health in order to re-focus global policy and prioritize youth road deaths and injuries as the health crisis it is. In China and Cambodia, we captured images of students and teachers on the streets outside of their schools and shared their stories on social media using the hashtag #ThisisMyStreet. In Vietnam, members of the Yen Bai Traffic Safety Committee and the Nghia Lo traffice police also signed on in support of the campaign, joining communities and NGOs around the world in urging world leaders to ‘walk the talk’ on providing safe environments for children and adolescents.
