🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sonia Vohito, legal policy specialist with the End Corporal Punishment initiative (hosted by the World Health Organization), to discuss the urgent movement to ban corporal punishment across Africa.We unpack the cultural, legal, and historical roots of corporal punishment, explore the lived experiences of children affected, and examine how only 12 African countries have fully banned it — and why the rest haven’t. Dr. Vohito shares her work in advocacy, policy change, and collaboration with governments to protect children from violence in all settings — including homes, schools, and alternative care.🔍 In this episode, we cover:• Why corporal punishment persists in Africa• The legal gaps that allow it to continue• How the African Children’s Charter offers a pathway to change• Stories of successful reform in Tunisia and Kenya• What YOU can do to support child rights✊ This conversation is more than policy — it’s about protecting the future of Africa’s children.📌 Learn more at: https://endcorporalpunishment.org🎁 Support child health advocacy: https://birthdaykidsclub.org🔔 Subscribe for more episodes on child rights, education justice, and global health policy!👍 Like this video if you believe no child should grow up in fear.💬 Comment your thoughts — Should corporal punishment be banned in every country?#CorporalPunishment #EndCorporalPunishment #Africa #ChildRights #WHO #Podcast #SoniaVohito #GlobalHealth #EducationJustice #AfricanChildrenCharter #UNICEF #HumanRights #BirthdayKidsClub
