** Global Initiative to close in the coming months
------------------------------------------------------------
It is with considerable sadness that we announce that the Global Initiative will close in September 2020 and will therefore begin ceasing operations over the next few months.

Like many small, advocacy-oriented organisations around the world, we have experienced serious challenges in securing adequate funding for our work. Despite taking a wide range of steps to mitigate this situation, we have been unable to secure sufficient resources to sustain the organisation beyond 2020.

We understand that, as our long-term supporters, you will be surprised and equally saddened by this news. More information is available on our website ([link removed]) and we welcome contact from organisations or initiatives that might be interested in taking forward aspects of our work. We are working hard with our partners to find solutions for how our important work and resources, particularly our website, can live on. We hope to share an update on this by the end of June.

Most importantly, we are thankful to you, our supporters, and all those who have worked with us over the past decades. We trust that you will all continue this vital work in your own communities and countries, ensuring that the global movement to end all corporal punishment of children prevails until all children can grow free from all forms of violence.
