This paper has been initiated by the UNICEF West and Central Africa Regional Office as a modest contribution to the global campaign on the prohibition of corporal punishment. This is a first step towards a study of the subject and appropriate actions in the region in application of UNICEF 2002-2005 Medium-Term Strategic Plan pending an in-depth regional study on all forms of abuse and violence against children.
