国际不打小孩日--- International Spankout Day

你知道吗,今天4 月30 日,是 Spankout Day,也就是“不打小孩日”。我也是刚从报章上得知的。。。

根据报章上的报导,1998年,美国的一个民间组织---- 有效管教中心(CED),有感于体罚加诸儿童的伤害,选定4月30日为“不打小孩日”,由美国终止体罚组织 (EPOCH-USA)支援,藉由各式活动来向社会大众宣导反体罚的儿童人权观。

原本只在美国境内推动的“不打小孩日”,渐渐传到在世界各国。至今,响应的国家包括台湾,香港,肯亚,喀麦隆,英国,加拿大,纽西兰,印度,澳洲,斯里兰卡等国家。

这个特别的日子,在不同的国家有不同的名称。有的国家叫这天为 NoHitting Day,有的国家叫它 NoSmacking Day,香港称之为“无巴掌日”。台湾,则在2006年正式以“不打小孩日”响应国际,呼吁“不打小孩,以手传爱”。

“该不该对小孩施于体罚?”

不同的人有不同的看法,你认为呢?请大家在这个“国际不打小孩日”发表一下你的想法吧!!

hmm.... i really don't know got this 国际不打小孩日... maybe if this day is a holiday, people might take it more seriously. People only remember this event when the date is coming... like 地球日 we should love the earth, 母亲节should remember to treat mom good... But i think we shouldn't set a DATE for it, but really do it everyday. Anyway, is good also to have this day... better we set more day like "国际不打爸爸日", "国际不打妈妈日", "国际不贪污日", "国际不打战日" , "国际不讲粗口日", "国际笑口常开日", "国际货币率统一日","国际不种族岐视日" etc... and all set it to holiday, so people might remember it at least. Now days we are talking about "globalization" right? so... why not.
