This Report documents the International Save the Children Alliance Regional
Workshop, "National challenges, resource and information needs in addressing
corporal punishment of children in Southeast Asia Pacific", held in Bangkok
(Thailand) from 5 to 9 April 2004.

Presentations and discussions focused on defining a clear course of action for
addressing the corporal punishment of children in national contexts. The decisions
reached in the Workshop led to concentrated work in succeeding months, preparing for
the development of national projects to promote non violence in families and
positive discipline in schools, as well as producing awareness-raising and training
materials for children, adult professionals and the general public.

This Report is designed to be used as resource for understanding the corporal
punishment of children and for supporting action in both regional and national
contexts, providing an illustration of the pro-active work of Save the Children in
addressing the corporal punishment of children.[Source: CRIN]
