25K students were hit in U.S. schools in one school year.

Corporal punishment is still used in 14 states.

Black children & students with disabilities are at the greatest risk.

We’ve made progress—but the progress is fragile.

There is no federal ban. We can’t let this slide.
Today is the International Day to #EndCorporalPunishment

😢Around 1.6 billion children continue to be subjected to violent punishment - in homes, schools and other settings

🚨We call on all govts to urgently prohibit and take concrete action to eliminate corporal punishment

It's vital that we bring England in line with Wales, Scotland, and almost 70 other countries around the world by giving children and adults equal protection from assault and battery under the law.

Most social workers and teachers agreed that the law as it stands at the moment creates an ambiguity that undermines their work to safeguard children.

Many governments have committed to ending violence against children. However, over 1.6bn young people continue to be subjected to #corporalpunishment. We must ensure all children have the same rights as adults to be protected from harm. #EndCorporalPunishment #ENDViolence #SDG16
