CHILD RIGHTS IN NEPAL
Child rights simply refers to the
right to children. They are essential for their all round development. Today’s
children are the tomorrows nation builders. They should be made able to
shoulder the nation in future. Realizing this fact our country has introduced
some rights as child rights.
Our present constitution has
introduced child rights as fundamental rights. It means it cannot be violated
at any sense. Some important child rights are right to love and affection,
right to name and nationality, right to education, right to recreation and
sports and so on. Nepal aims to ensure these rights to every child here.
Moreover, childhood is the tender age.
Their mind can be compare with clay. We can shape it. They learn everything
form the environment around them. So they should be kept free form exploitation
and torture. If they are ill treated in the society, the anti-social feeling
may grow in them. As the result, there won’t be unity in the future. Hence, it
is also believed to be a child right.
The effort of the government alone may
not be enough to promote the condition of child rights. There are some NGO’s in
Nepal and the world working for the children. Some of the worth mentioning
among them in our country are CWIN, SON, UNDP, UNICEF, STC etc. they are also
working in Nepal to work in favour of our children.
Even though, we have strict provision
in this regard, we see the children involving in various types of work such as
collecting plastics, bottles, pans, pots and used cans, instead of going to
school. Undoubtedly these types of work are against child rights. The children
are engaged in service as servant in rich man’s house, factories, garment, and
other industries. It is against child rights. These activities hinder the
overall development of our children.
