Resources

The Global Initiative produces a range of publications, many in collaboration with partners. Increasingly we aim to translate publications as advocacy requires. All our publications are intended for advocacy purposes and all are free of charge. For an overview of our publications, see this leaflet. 

 

FAQs

This series of three booklets provides answers to the questions that arise when we think about prohibiting all corporal punishment of children, including questions and answers for children and young people, and questions that relate specifically to prohibiting corporal punishment in schools. They are available in English, French, Spanish and Russian, with more languages coming soon.
