What is SpankOut Day?

It was initiated in 1998 by EPOCH-USA (End Physical Punishment of Children) to the need end physical punishment of children and to provide educational information to parents and caregivers about non-violent alternatives. Over 500 informational events and programmes have been held in the US and in the other countries it is sometimes called 'no hitting day', 'no smacking day', or 'day of non-violence for children'.
