  • STOP the Coward Punch Education Resources

    The STOP the Coward Punch curriculum package covers various educational topics and emphasises the harmful effects of cowardly and unnecessary violence. It aims to promote positive attitudes and behaviours among young people by providing them with engaging and creative strategies and age-appropriate information.

About the resources

The STOP the Coward Punch Campaign is on a mission to eliminate the coward punch from society and save lives by educating people – including young people – about the risks and ramifications of the coward punch. 

More on the Campaign

Danny Green’s STOP the Coward Punch campaign was started in 2012 with the aim of raising awareness of the devastating effects of the coward punch on the community, including the physical and mental scars survivors, families and friends are left with for life.

STOP the Coward Punch believes in the right of all people to enjoy themselves, safely and free from violence. With support from entertainers, athletes, community leaders, politicians and everyday Australians, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the simple precautions we – as a community and as individuals – can take to ensure safe and enjoyable outings and, ultimately, reduce the number of coward punch occurrences in our communities.
