Changing Norms and Behaviours to End Physical Violence Against Children in Jordan

The Strategy – Changing Norms and Social Behaviours to End Physical Violence Against Children in Jordan – is based on UNICEF’s fundamental conviction that all children have the right to be protected from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse. The Strategy is national in its outlook and covers the period from 2019 to 2021. The overall goal of the Strategy is to contribute towards ending violence, in particular its physical form, against children in Jordan. Its specific objectives are to make corporal punishment prohibited in all settings and to halve its use, for girls and boys, in homes and schools.
