Children and violence

This issue coincides with the near completion of the UN Study on Violence Against Children, and its presentation to the UN General Assembly (October 2006). This newsletter looks at some of the current debates on violence against children while also offering some practical tools for those working with children and for those engaged in campaigning and advocacy. The newsletter features Global Commitment by Professor Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, on the UN study on violence against children; Corporal punishment beats a retreat, by Peter Newell; and Making a justice system just for children, by Florence Martin
