« This new report by the Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children is a thoughtful and rich contribution to the global agenda to end violence against children. The report provides an informative overview of progress towards prohibiting all forms of corporal punishment of children, analyses remaining obstacles for law reform, and makes the case for better data and stronger research on violent disciplinary practices in specific settings, including the home, in schools, and in residential care and justice institutions. » Says Marta Santos Pais Special Representative of the Secretary General on Violence against Children.
