Ending corporal punishment of children: two high-level conferences<\/h3>

Corporal punishment - always a breach of children\u2019s human rights - is the most common form of violence against children. Its very widespread social acceptance means that a level of violence in childrearing is normalised, entrenching children\u2019s low status in society and paving the way for other forms of violence and mistreatment. It is associated with a wide range of short and long-term negative impacts, both for the individual and society as a whole.<\/p>

The Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children and End Corporal Punishment are amplifying calls to end corporal punishment of children, as part of the Together to #ENDviolence global campaign<\/a> and the International Day to End Corporal Punishment of Children on 30th<\/sup> April.<\/p>

Two high-level conferences<\/strong> made the case for accelerating progress towards universal prohibition and elimination of corporal punishment \u2013 as a human rights obligation and a moral imperative, but also as an effective and essential foundation for ending all violence against children.<\/p>

The first event on 30th<\/sup> April looked at progress and delay in the global movement to prohibit corporal punishment of children; the second on 4th<\/sup> June examined how prohibition of corporal punishment can be put into practice, with international examples of leadership and implementation. Speakers included young people, Governments, human rights, legal and academic experts, and practitioners from around the world. A new report<\/a> and new implementation guidance<\/a> were launched at the conferences.<\/p>
