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. 

 

Global progress publications

Each year the Global Initiative publishes a report on progress towards universal prohibition of corporal punishment and other significant developments. Current and past editions are available here. Also available are our global "progress and delay" leaflets.

 

Regional progress publications

The Global Initiative publishes regular reports on progress towards prohibition of all corporal punishment in regions across the world. Also available are our regional "progress and delay" leaflets and our regional progress briefings. 

 

Thematic publications

Here you will find the Global Initiative's reports setting out the obligation  to prohibit and eliminate corporal punishment - and progress towards achieving this - in the context of other cross cutting human rights, including children's rights in relation to health, education and juvenile justice.

 

Technical publications on how to achieve law reform

Here you can find a range of handbooks, guides and briefings to support organisations campaigning for law reform to prohibit corporal punishment.
