Fighting for a childhood free from corporal punishment

María Einarsdóttir, Rita Riadh, of the Swedish World’s Children’s Prize Youth Advisory Board are talking to important people today, at the conference "A Childhood free from corporal punishment”. The conference is hosted by the Swedish Government and here they are with the Swedish MInister for Children, Maria Larsson, chatting about how to stop adults from hitting and abusing children! One way to get stuff done is to support The World’s Children’s Prize Program and the Globe Magazine. Annually we bring the issue of corporal punishment to children’s and teachers’ attention around the world. So far, 35 million students and some half a million teachers, have learnt through the WCP that corporal punishment is a violation of children’s rights and that it has been banned in several countries.
