Spank out day

EPOCH USA is promoting its annual international "No-hitting, no-smacking, no-spanking day for children" on 30 April 2005. The purpose is to highlight the need to end physical punishment of children, and to promote non-violent discipline.  Last year organisations in nine nations participated in this observance through articles in newsletters, media releases and educational events.  For further information visit the website www.stophitting.org.
