Innocenti Research Briefs Undermining Learning: Multi-Country Longitudinal Evidence on Corporal Punishment in Schools AUTHOR(S) Hayley Jones; Kirrily Pells Published: 2016 Innocenti Research Briefs Although it is often legally prohibited, the use of physical violence for discipline is a well-established norm in many communities, both at home and at school. Corporal punishment is often part of a wider problem of violence in schools, which includes other forms of humiliating punishment from teachers, peer bullying and gender-based violence. Violence in schools, including physical and verbal abuse by teachers and peers, is the foremost reason children aged 8 give for disliking school. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 5 | Thematic area: Child Protection, Convention on the Rights of the Child | Tags: convention on the rights of the child, corporal punishment, right to humane school discipline, school discipline, social norms, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Hayley Jones; Kirrily Pells 2016 Undermining Learning: Multi-Country Longitudinal Evidence on Corporal Punishment in Schools. , pp. 5.
Innocenti Research Briefs Entraver l’apprentissage : Preuves longitudinales multinationales sur les châtiments corporels dans les écoles AUTHOR(S) Hayley Jones; Kirrily Pells Published: 2016 Innocenti Research Briefs Bien qu’elle soit souvent légalement interdite, l’utilisation de la violence physique pour faire régner la discipline est une norme bien établie dans de nombreuses communautés, tant à la maison qu’à l’école. Les châtiments corporels font souvent partie d’un problème plus large de violence scolaire, qui comprend d’autres formes de châtiments humiliants infligés par les enseignants, le harcèlement entre condisciples et la violence sexuelle. La violence à l’école, y compris la violence physique et verbale des enseignants et des pairs, constitue la principale raison pour laquelle les enfants âgés de 8 ans n’aiment pas l’école. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 5 | Thematic area: Child Protection, Convention on the Rights of the Child | Tags: convention on the rights of the child, corporal punishment, right to humane school discipline, school discipline, social norms, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Hayley Jones; Kirrily Pells 2016 Entraver l’apprentissage : Preuves longitudinales multinationales sur les châtiments corporels dans les écoles. , pp. 5.
Innocenti Research Briefs Debilitamiento de la educación: evidencia longitudinal multinacional sobre el castigo corporal en las escuelas AUTHOR(S) Hayley Jones; Kirrily Pells Published: 2016 Innocenti Research Briefs Aunque a menudo está legalmente prohibido, el uso de la violencia física para inculcar la disciplina es una norma sólidamente establecida en muchas comunidades, tanto en el hogar como en la escuela.

Innocenti Working Papers Understanding Children’s Experiences of Violence in Peru: Evidence from Young Lives AUTHOR(S) Gabriela Guerrero; Vanessa Rojas Published: 2016 Innocenti Working Papers This paper describes children’s experiences of violence at home in Peru, using a lifecourse approach. Violence against children at home tended to increase with age, as children took on more chores (especially in rural areas), and spent more time away from home (in some cases, in urban areas). The chances of being hit by parents increased when children failed in their responsibilities; spending more time away from home also presented potential dangers for children (e.g., being robbed in the community, joining a gang, etc.), and so violence was used as a means to protect them and to prevent them from being led astray. We discuss how living in poverty affects relationships between parents and children. Meeting the basic economic needs of a family is the priority for parents, who then have limited time, energy and resources to devote to their children. We also found that children exposed to violence in the home are also frequently exposed to corporal punishment at school. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 44 | Thematic area: Child Protection, Gender Issues | Tags: children at risk, corporal punishment, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Gabriela Guerrero; Vanessa Rojas 2016 Understanding Children’s Experiences of Violence in Peru: Evidence from Young Lives . , pp. 44.
Innocenti Working Papers Understanding Children’s Experiences of Violence in Ethiopia: Evidence from Young Lives AUTHOR(S) Alula Pankhurst; Nathan Negussie; Emebet Mulugeta Published: 2016 Innocenti Working Papers This research report explores children’s accounts of everyday violence in Ethiopia, and the ways in which factors at individual, family, community, institutional and society levels affect children’s experiences of violence. The report primarily draws on analysis of four rounds of longitudinal qualitative data gathered over seven years, complemented with analysis of cross-sectional survey data from Young Lives. Findings show that violence affecting children – mostly physical punishment and emotional abuse – is widespread, accepted, and normalized. Differing economic activities affect family dynamics and the likelihood of children experiencing violence, which is often linked to the challenges of poverty and the expectation that children will contribute to the household economy. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 44 | Thematic area: Child Protection, Gender Issues | Tags: corporal punishment, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Alula Pankhurst; Nathan Negussie; Emebet Mulugeta 2016 Understanding Children’s Experiences of Violence in Ethiopia: Evidence from Young Lives. , pp. 44.
