UN Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children

The UN Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children is a worldwide effort led by the United Nations to eliminate physical punishment and other cruel forms of discipline for children. It aims to promote peaceful, non-violent ways of guiding and parenting children by raising awareness, encouraging policy changes, and supporting countries in adopting laws that protect children’s rights. The goal is to create safe, respectful environments where children can grow and learn free from violence, recognizing that corporal punishment can harm their physical and emotional well-being and hinder their development.
