April 30 is “International SpankOut Day”
首先，这个日子是真的。注意常用英文名叫“International SpankOut Day”，而不是“International no hit Day”。“Spank”有打屁股、打人的意思。
First of all, this day is true. Note that the common English name is "International SpankOut Day", not "International no hit Day". "Spank" means spanking and beating people.

花絮/Highlights：
在这个节日设定之前，其实已经有许多国家立法禁止对孩子的体罚。早在1979年，瑞典就对此立法。它的“好邻居"芬兰和挪威紧随其后，分别于1983和1987年立法。2019年7月2日法国也通过反日常教育暴力法案，将"禁打屁股法"（Loi Anti-Fessée）纳入民法，成为世界上第56个立法禁止体罚儿童的国家。其中法国的这个法案规定，不仅不能打孩子屁股，夫妻结婚时还要宣誓不对孩子进行身体和语言暴力。
Before this setting of “International SpankOut Day”, in fact, many countries already had legislation to prohibit corporal punishment of children. As early as 1979, Sweden made this legislation. Finland and Norway followed, enacting legislation in 1983 and 1987, respectively. On July 2, 2019, France also passed the Anti-Daily Educational Violence Act, which incorporated the "Loi Anti-Fessée" into the Civil Code, making it the 56th country in the world to prohibit corporal punishment of children. Among them, this French law stipulates that not only can children not be spanked, but when they get married, they must swear not to use physical and verbal violence against their children.

社会评价/social evaluations：
“甩巴掌或打屁股、殴打孩子，是不良行为的危险教训。像我们其他人一样，孩子们有权避免遭到殴打或侮辱。大多数打孩子的父母对此深表遗憾。甩巴掌会伤害儿童，不仅仅是伤害身体。不打孩子的一天的目的是让父母停下来思考一下，认识到有很多积极和非暴力的方式来鼓励孩子们的正确行为；并意识到他们再也不需要打孩子了。”——终止对儿童的一切体罚全球倡议联合协调员彼得·纽维尔，英国伦敦
“Smacking or spanking, the beating of children, is a dangerous lesson in bad behavior. Children, like the rest of us, have a right not to be hit or humiliated. Most parents who hit their children deeply regret it. Smacking hurts children - and not just physically. The aim of a no-hitting day is to get parents to stop and to think about it; to recognize that there are many positive and non-violent ways to encourage the behavior they want from their children; and to realize they never need to hit a child again.” ——Peter Newell, Joint Coordinator of the Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children, London, England
“我们需要支持“美国SpankOut日”活动，因为每个人，尤其是每个孩子，都拥有绝对的人身完整权，这是早就应成为法律的权利”。——马里兰州巴尔的摩市的Victoria S.
“We need to support SpankOut Day USA because every human being, above all every child, has the absolute right to bodily integrity, a right which is long overdue to become law”. ——Victoria S., Baltimore, MD
“我们需要支持美国SpankOut Day，因为在文明社会中打屁股是一种不合适的教育方法。恐吓和恐惧不是有效的方式；知识和爱才是”。 ——Sherri D.，密苏里州希尔斯伯勒
“We need to support SpankOut Day USA because spanking is an inappropriate method of discipline in a civilized society. Intimidation and fear are not effective teachers; knowledge and love are”. ——Sherri D., Hillsboro, MO
“在1979年，瑞典成为第一个结束对儿童的一切体罚的国家。 最初，瑞典政府决定告知公众对孩子进行体罚的不良影响，并帮助父母和监护人了解有效的替代方法。 对于尚未结束对儿童的一切体罚的国家来说，无休假日为有关组织和个人提供了机会，以促进对儿童的积极管教并呼吁结束体罚。” ——马里·尼尔森（Mali Nilsson）体罚方案官员拯救儿童瑞典
“In l979, Sweden became the first country to end all corporal punishment of children. In the beginning, the Swedish government decided it was important to educate the public about the bad effects of corporal punishment and to help parents and child minders learn about effective alternatives. For countries that have not ended all corporal punishment of children, a no-hitting day is an opportunity for concerned organizations and individuals to promote positive discipline of children and to call for an end to corporal punishment.” ——Mali Nilsson Programme Officer on Corporal Punishment Save the Children Sweden
“国际不打小孩日”其实是在倡导一种科学教育孩子的理念。但一味采用温和方式教育孩子未必都好，挫折教育也是很有必要的，适当的体罚就是一种挫折教育。——商丘市心理专家孙萍
"International SpankOut Day" is actually advocating a scientific concept of educating children. But it is not always good to educate children in a gentle way. Frustration education is also necessary. Proper corporal punishment is a kind of frustration education. ——Sun Ping, a psychologist in Shangqiu City
