Corporal punishment of children in Mexico

This country report tracks Mexico's legal progress towards prohibiting corporal punishment of children in all settings. It documents the December 2020 amendment to the General Law on the Rights of Children and Adolescents 2014, which prohibits corporal punishment in all settings but will only come into force once all 32 federal entities domesticate the change,  and identifies the remaining legal gaps in the home, alternative care, and day care.
