Briefing on corporal punishment for World Congress against Sexual Exploitation

The third World Congress against Sexual Exploitation of Children will take place in November in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Global Initiative’s briefing for the Congress is now available.

Corporal punishment contributes to children’s vulnerability to sexual exploitation in many ways. Sexual exploitation of children depends on seeing them as objects and possessions of adults. There can be no more potent symbol of this view of children as less than equal human beings than the continuing legality of corporal punishment. Prohibiting and eliminating corporal punishment of children is an important element in the fight against sexual exploitation.
