The South Asia Initiative to End Violence Against Children is organising the technical meeting on Legal Reform in two parts. The first part of the technical meeting is centred around Government Representatives from South Asia developing national action plans to progress on achieving SAIEVAC’s 5 year Workplan. Representatives from UN-agencies, INGO’s, civil society and children/young people are encouraged to participate alongside official representatives.
The second part of the Technical meeting on legal reform will address the specific issue of corporal punishment (physical and psychological violence) in all settings. Governments in South Asia have committed to prioritise this issue through the SAIEVAC Workplan. This meeting will help facilitate the development of national action plans and future progress through the participation of governments, UN-agencies, INGO’s, civil society and children/young people who can support national and regional implementation.
Objectives for the meeting Part 2:
• Addressing corporal punishment of children as a human rights issue
• Developing national action plans to eliminate corporal punishment
• Developing advocacy messages
