How do staff members in institutions become victims of violence? How do these institutions themselves generate violence? Omar Brixi, a physician and public health professor who chairs the “Institution, Organization, and Violence” commission, highlights the extent to which this violence is denied. Health education has a role to play in this area, not merely addressing the symptoms of this violence, but tracing it back to its roots, tackling the real causes, training professionals, encouraging open dialogue, and restoring respect for rights and for people on both sides. He illustrates his point by presenting some initiatives reported to this commission. At the request of the Ministry of Health and Solidarity and under the chairmanship of Dr. Anne Tursz, a pediatrician, epidemiologist, and research director at Inserm, six preparatory commissions produced a body of reflections and analyses. This work resulted in a final report by Dr. Tursz: "Do Prevention and Health Education Have a Place in the Fight Against Violence?" The chairs of each of these committees, along with Anne Tursz, chair of the entire preparatory mission, share with "La santé de l'Homme" the points they found most significant.
