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; and provide detailed technical assistance to support states with these reforms.
