Start and finish time of webinar
2 - 4 pm CET (Geneva time)

Corporal punishment is the most common form of violence against children. Its widespread social acceptance normalises a level of violence throughout childhood, entrenches children’s low status in society and paves the way for other forms of violence, exploitation and mistreatment. It is associated with a wide range of short and long-term negative impacts, both for the individual and society as a whole.

This high-level conferences make the case for accelerating progress towards universal prohibition and elimination of corporal punishment – as a human rights obligation and a moral imperative, but also as an effective and essential foundation for ending all violence against children.
