Corporal punishment and the SDGs<\/h2>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t
\n\t

Corporal punishment is the most common form\u00a0<\/span>
of violence experienced by children worldwide.\u00a0<\/span>
Ending its use is key to ending all violence against\u00a0<\/span>
children and reducing violence across the whole\u00a0<\/span>
of society in the longer term \u2013 building peaceful,\u00a0<\/span>
non-violent societies in which human rights are\u00a0<\/span>
respected \u2013 and in working towards other Sustainable\u00a0<\/span>
Development Goal (SDG) targets, including those\u00a0<\/span>
related to health, education, violence against women\u00a0<\/span>
and girls, equality and economic growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Violent punishment <\/span>of children is associated with a variety of negative <\/span>health and behavioural outcomes, including poorer <\/span>mental health and educational outcomes, and increased aggression and criminal behaviour. While the long-term effects of violence in families and society are felt by all, they can disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries, where its impact can be severe in terms of slowing economic growth, undermining personal and collective security, and impeding social development.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

The Sustainable Development Agenda 2030<\/a> is adopted by world leaders who, for the first time, commit to ending all forms of violence against children (Target 16.2). Prohibition of all corporal punishment is a critical step towards the achievement of Target 16.2 and other targets, including those related to health and well-being, and quality education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

INSPIRE: Seven Strategies for Ending Violence Against Children<\/a> is published by the World Health Organisation and nine other agencies. The first strategy \u2013 implementation and enforcement of laws \u2013 highlights the need for laws banning corporal punishment of children by parents, teachers and other caregivers, and society-wide measures to change social norms and attitudes around violence in childrearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

In 2020, the Global Initiative\u2019s work was taken forward by the End Violence Partnership, under the new name End Corporal Punishment. The Partnership and Secretariat provided significant support and opportunities to pursue ending violent punishment of children. The chance to work closely with Pathfinding countries was particularly fruitful.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
