The Origin of International Day Without Children

The origin of International Day Without Children is as follows:

The International Day of No Corporal Punishment for Children was initiated by the Center for Effective Discipline, an American anti-corporal punishment organization, on 1998 to support the victims of corporal punishment and appeal to the whole society to pay attention to children's rights. The date is April 30th.

In the United States, especially some immigrant families in Latin America and Asia and some black families with low income and low education level, the phenomenon of beating children is relatively common compared with white families, and the phenomenon of abuse and sexual assault is more serious. It is precisely because child abuse does exist in the United States that the Center for Effective Management of American Children's Human Rights Organizations launched a campaign against corporal punishment of children.

Countries that prohibit corporal punishment in schools are

Argentina, People's Republic of China (PRC), Japan, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, Russia, Slovakia, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania and Turkey.
