Ending Violence Against Children: See what’s planned for April 30 by the Global End Violence Against Children Partnership

On 30 April, the International Day to #EndCorporalPunishment, join the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, and partners around the world to call for an end to violent punishment of children.

Governments have a critical role to play and partners large and small are coming together on 30 April for the International Day to #EndCorporal punishment to call for more urgent action to prohibit and eliminate corporal punishment. Enacting and implementing legal reform is key to ending corporal punishment – to send a message that corporal punishment is not acceptable and help shift attitudes and behaviour across society towards positive, non-violent caregiving.
