Motorization not at the cost of kids' lives

World Health Organization estimates that more than 200,000 people die on the roads in China every year. And tragically, many involve children. These deaths are entirely preventable

Most people assume that the biggest killers of children and young people around the world are diseases like malaria, diarrhoea and HIV. Right? Wrong. One of the biggest causes of death and serious injury for young people around the world is road crashes.

In China, over 10,000 children under 15 years of age die each year as a result of injuries sustained in a road crash. Many more are severely injured.
