Welcome to our campaign to ban all corporal punishment of children

Global Initiative to End all Corporal Punishment of Children - a site for young people

Welcome to our campaign to end all corporal punishment of children.

Most people think that violence against children is wrong and that laws should be made to stop it. But many people think that it’s OK for adults to use physical violence as a way to punish or ‘discipline’ children. When adults hit or hurt children to punish them, it is called corporal punishment.

All over the world, children, young people and adults are working to end corporal punishment and make sure that children are protected from all kinds of violence.

This website will tell you more about what they are doing.



This website talks about violence against children. You might find it some of it upsetting. If you want to talk to someone about it, you can use this website to find a helpline in your country that you can call.
