As a peace researcher focusing on the roots of wars in childhood I regret seeing nearly no progress regarding child corporal punishment laws in many religious countries. Therefore in this podcast episode you can hear the Religions for Peace Declaration from their 2006 conference in Kyoto entitled "A multi-religious commitment to confront violence against children." Religious persons living in countries without a legal ban of child corporal punishment should remind others of this text.

Franz Jedlicka explains why he considers the #endcorporalpunishment campaign aiming at legal bans of physical punishment of children essential for world peace. ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) have a negative impact on whole nations, whereas a nonviolent early childhood development lays the foundation for peacefool societies. Recommending a legal ban of child corporal punishment should be recommended in every triple nexus (HDP nexus) strategy within development policy (INSPIRE strategy)

Franz Jedlicka spricht über einen wünschenswerten Schwerpunkt innerhalb der Gender Studies aus Sicht der Friedensforschung, nämlich die Erforschung der Entwicklung friedlicher Männlichkeit/en. Er erwähnt Literatur von Lonnie Athens (Violentization Theorie), Valerie Hudson et.al., und vermutet, dass das Konzept der "caring masculinities" ein gutes Gegenmodell zu "militarised masculinity" ist: aktive Vaterschaft, gefördert etwa durch Väterkarenz.
