GLOBAL SUMMIT ON ENDING CORPORAL PUNISHMENT AND PROMOTING POSITIVE DISCIPLINE

The Global Summit will bring together, for the first time, an international group of leading policy makers, attorneys, educators, children's rights activists, and researchers from multiple disciplines (anthropology, criminology, history, medicine, psychology, social work, and sociology) as well as other interested individuals who concur that corporal punishment of children is an unsuitable and potentially damaging way to discipline and teach children. The goals of the conference are: a) to raise public awareness about the problems associated with corporal punishment, b) to bring together individuals from different walks of life and professionals who are committed to ending corporal punishment of children, and c) to develop strategies for advancing the worldwide movement to end all corporal punishment of children from all venues in all parts of the world.
