It was launched during the Third United Nations Global Road Safety Week and is now calling for Governments worldwide to commit to take action at the Global High Level Conference on Road Safety in Brasilia (17-19 November 2015).'</p> <p>'The aim of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u09Vfl5Klw&amp;feature=youtu.be">film </a>is to raise public awareness of the 500 child deaths and many thousands of serious injuries every day on the world’s roads, to encourage wider public support for action to put in place measures to reduce this daily toll.
