The Health-Promoting School Project and the Domestic Violence

The paper sketches basic outlines of possible uses of the Health-Promoting School project for the elimination and prevention of cases of violence against children. It gives the definition of domestic violence, which should be distinguished from corporal punishment with a disciplinary objective, and cannot by definition be considered violence. It then discusses aspects of the Health-Promoting School project that could be used in a campaign against violence against children because that is a relatively wide-spread phenomenon with serious consequences.
