Index on Violent Punishment of Children in Middle Eastern and North African Countries

At this Together to #ENDviolence affiliate event, Human Rights Watch will launch their interactive index on violent discipline of children in the Middle East and North Africa Region. Objectives include:

• Informing participants of the harms of violent punishment of children in the Middle East and North Africa region
• Raise awareness about the HRW Index that will track the problem and the path toward prohibition
• Highlight the the Together to #ENDviolence campaign, and how we can all work together to protect children across the region and the world.

This will be followed by targeted advocacy with countries in the region to prohibit all corporal punishment.
