Literature Review on Prohibition and Elimination of Physical / Corporal Punishment and all other Forms of Cruel and Degrading Punishment in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and South Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda

Background

ANPPCAN is a pan-African child rights organization concerned with the status of children in general, and, in particular, those in need of protection.

It was founded in 1986 in Enugu, Nigeria during the First African Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect whose theme was Child Labour in Africa.

It is registered as an international NGO in Kenya and has its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya and also has observer status with the African Union (AU) and the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights based in Banjul, Gambia.

ANPPCAN seeks to engage the services of one consultant to conduct a literature review on prohibition and elimination of physical/corporal punishment in seven countries in the Eastern Africa region, namely Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

Corporal punishment is one of the most persistent forms of violence against children the world over.

The fact that it is lawful in schools, justice and care settings in many countries – and in the home in most countries – underpins its continued use and provides a false basis for the belief that it is somewhat morally “right” and “justifiable”.

In the Eastern Africa region, Kenya and South Sudan recently enacted legislation which achieves prohibition of all corporal punishment in all settings. But political priorities and other circumstances in both countries have hampered moving from prohibition towards elimination of all forms of violent punishment of children.

In most countries in the Region some progress has been made towards prohibiting corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment in care institutions and schools.

However, Governments still need to enact laws to prohibit all physical punishment in all settings and take other linked measures to move from prohibition to elimination in favour of a total ban.

Mechanisms to report cases of physical abuse within child protection systems and promote positive discipline as an alternative also need to be put in place or strengthened.

The All Africa report, published jointly by the African Child Policy Forum, the Global Initiative and Save the Children Sweden in 2010/11, identifies active campaigns against corporal punishment in a growing number of states and also immediate opportunities to achieve further law reform in states in all regions of the continent.

Save the Children Sweden and the Global Initiative have collaborated with Plan International and other partners in organising three technical workshops on achieving law reform to ban all corporal punishment, in May 2009 in Nairobi for East and Central Africa, in Beirut in June 2010 for the Middle East and North Africa and in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso for West Africa in December 2011.

Within the framework of diminishing Violence against Children and promoting positive discipline within the Region, ANPPCAN Regional Office, Save the Children and the Global Initiative to support governments in East and Central Africa in prohibiting and eliminating physical punishment by hosting a five day workshop aimed at national plans of action against this form of violence from 18th to 24th February 2012 in Zanzibar Tanzania.

This workshop will be used to prioritize implementation strategies for countries that have already achieved a total ban and provide lobbying techniques for the rest of the Region towards achieving the same.

Two days of the workshop will also be dedicated to positive discipline based on a manual developed by Save the Children Sweden and the Save the Children International Child Protection Initiative.

1. Scope of Work

To address the gaps and take stock of prohibition and elimination of physical/corporal punishment and all other forms of cruel and degrading punishment in the region, the consultant will:

Identify gaps and challenges of on-going initiatives to stop physical and humiliating punishment in the region and recommendations for follow up. Highlight successful campaigns especially from countries that have legally achieved a total ban on corporal punishment (South Sudan and Kenya).Determine political will and the potential support of governments and NGOs to achieve a total ban on corporal punishment/PHP and supporting alternative forms of discipline in the target countries.Prepare a final report with conclusions and concrete recommendations on PHP and Positive Child discipline methods.Present the review report to the conference.Guide the technical working group established to draft National Action Plans to pursue prohibition of physical punishment in all settings and alternatives to physical punishment in each participating state.The consultant will carry out a desk review and analysis of existing literature on policies and programmes/strategies on prohibition of Physical and Humiliating punishment in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and South Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

Time Frame

Become a ‘Voluntourist’ in Kenya

The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to our orphanage and education center in Kenya. IHF has grown over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki (CEO) and the dedication of thousands of volunteers from around the world.

IHF is distinct from other NGO’s in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’ ethos in marginalized regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our organization could not reach it. IHF has no central headquarters, as each center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. IHF ‘Voluntourists’ teach English, computer and math classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre. The relationships formed between the children and Voluntourists are lasting as they remain in touch for years afterward.

At the center, IHF requires its Voluntourists to work four hours a day at the center, six day a week. There is time to sightsee and tour the nation, but work remains an important priority. This is a unique position within IHF as it allows the volunteer firsthand experience in the field, also having time to explore the local area " without the need to do international tasks like other volunteers. With the chance to experience Balinese Hinduism, the busy capital of Jakarta or life in Indonesia's Islamic state, Indonesia's rich and deep cultural diversity means each of our centers here offer their own unique experience. Our Kenya center offers access to numerous wildlife parks and safaris, and our Thailand center is in the vicinity of incredible temples, waterfalls and scenery.

Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. We are looking for people who will bring a caring and nurturing attitude with the children. Your time will be divided between the children and your own chance to visit the local tourist attractions. It is very important to adhere to the local cultural codes. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential.

Costs: IHF is committed to offering a flexible, affordable service experience. There is no application fee, and the weekly fees for individuals are USD $150 and for couples and families only USD $200 to cover the costs for their room and board, both of which are very simple, at the center. Only married couples and immediate family will be allowed to share a room due to strict cultural codes.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself further with our organization - ihfonline.org. If you have any questions at this time, feel free to e-mail one of our helpful volunteers " voluntourist(at)ihfonline.org
