Abstract in brief
- The paper discusses how in Australia, it is currently legal for parents to hit their children, and it argues for legal changes to prohibit corporal punishment based on international human rights agreements and evidence of harm.
- It reviews successful examples from other countries where legal reform, public education campaigns, and access to nonviolent discipline strategies have led to reductions in corporal punishment and improved child outcomes.
- The authors recommend Australia enact laws banning corporal punishment, launch public health campaigns to raise awareness, provide parenting support, and conduct surveys to monitor the impact of these changes.]
