March 26, 20251 yr From The Thaiger In a groundbreaking move for children’s rights, Thailand has officially outlawed all forms of corporal punishment, including both physical and psychological discipline. The amendment to Section 1567 of the Civil and Commercial Code, announced in the Royal Gazette on Monday, March 24, marks a historic moment for the nation, making Thailand the 68th country worldwide to ban violent discipline in homes, schools, care facilities, juvenile centres, and daycare centres. UNICEF Thailand praised the new law, calling it a major milestone in the protection of children’s rights and the promotion of positive parenting. The amendment aligns with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), reaffirming the principle that a child’s best interests must be the top priority in all decisions affecting them. The new law comes after a 2022 survey by the National Statistical Office and UNICEF revealed that 54% of Thai children under 14 had experienced some form of physical or psychological punishment at home, a notable decrease from 75% in 2015. While UNICEF acknowledges this progress, the organisation stresses that no child should ever suffer violence and that further efforts are needed to eliminate it. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thailand-bans-all-corporal-punishment-a-win-for-childrens-rights
