Global Initiative

The Global Initiative aims to:

• form a strong alliance of human rights agencies, key individuals and non-governmental organisations against corporal punishment;
• make corporal punishment of children visible by building a global map of its prevalence and legality, ensuring that children's views are heard and charting progress towards ending it;
• lobby state governments systematically to ban all forms of corporal punishment and to develop public education programmes;
• promote awareness-raising of children’s right to protection and public education on positive, non-violent forms of discipline for children;
• provide detailed technical assistance to support states with these reforms.
