The purpose of this conference is to bring together, for the first time, an international group of leading policy makers, attorneys, educators, children's rights activists, and researchers from multiple disciplines (e.g., anthropology, criminology, history, medicine psychology, social work, & sociology) as well as other interested individuals who concur that corporal punishment of children is an unsuitable and potentially damaging way to discipline and teach children. The goals of the conference are a) to raise public awareness about the rights of children and problems associated with corporal punishment, b) to bring together individuals from different walks of life and professions who are committed to ending corporal punishment of children, and c) to develop strategies for advancing the worldwide movement to prohibit and eliminate all corporal punishment of children from all venues in all parts of the world.
