Launched in April 2001, the Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children aims to speed the end of corporal punishment of children across the world.

|
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;
- promote awareness-raising of children’s right to protection and public education on positive, non-violent forms of discipline for children;
- provide detailed technical assistance to support states with these reforms.
