This study attempts to assess the Nepalese laws related to rights of the child, particularly Children's Act 1992 in respect to international laws particularly focused on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989. After close exploration of CRC Children's Act 1992, Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal 1992 and very recently, Interim Constitution of Nepal 2007, the reality we do have, it is revealed that legal framework is necessary but not the sufficient condition for the children and their concern. To support the legal framework, the second condition of socio-economic framework must be aligned which is not done in parallel in Nepalese context therefore the implementation is a fatal problem. Children are majority in statistics but minority on social status in real world. Nepal has ratified most of the human right conventions and optional protocols but respective domestic initiation in that respect is poor. Role of society and non-government organizations are inevitable for effective implementation of the rights of the children and their concern.

Un convention on the rights of the child, un crc in child friendly language.

• Available in:

“Rights" are things every child should have or be able to do. All children have the same rights. These rights are listed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Almost every country has agreed to these rights. All the rights are connected to each other, and all are equally important. Sometimes, we have to think about rights in terms of what is the best for children in a situation, and what is critical to life and protection from harm. As you grow, you have more responsibility to make choices and exercise your rights.

Children who acquires almost half of the sky in Nepal still thousands of children are being abused, trafficked, neglected from policy to community level. This research based analytical report tries to figure it out in which areas the investment are planned by development agencies and which are the areas the investment is crucial and alarming. The report was published for the Royal Norwegian Embassy of Nepal by Mr. Gauri Pradha, Ms. Indu Tuladhar and Mr. Sanjog Thakuri

Nepal ratified to CRC in 1990 which is considered as one of the important milestones in the arena of rights of the child movement in Nepal. Since then, comprehensive discussion and dialogue on children’s issues concerns as well as their rights was initiated. A special Act on Children was enforced in 1992, and the government of Nepal started preparing plans and programmes on children related agendas. The country developed 10 year plan of action for child development (in 1992), which was first of its kind in itself. The Act also provisioned for the formation of a separate statutory committee to work for the rights of children. As such, the commitments made in international level, obliged the country to implement the principles and provisions of these instruments as well as enforce, amend, reform legislation and policy context concerning child rights and protection. In the past thirty years of signing CRC, it is visible that Nepal has made tremendous progress in the situation of children and realization of rights of the child. Nepal has ratified most of the international and regional human rights apparatuses concerning status of children. Nevertheless, there are still some challenging areas where children in Nepal need more supports as the realisation of the CRC. There still some 35.8% under 5 years old with (long term) chronic malnutrition/stunting; about 1,6 million children engage in child labor; still 46% of children need to obtain their birth certificate; and Nepal still has one of the highest child marriage case in the world. These and other development agenda still require multi-stakeholders support led by the Government of Nepal with other development partners, including the communities, children themselves, local and international NGOs, communities and faith leaders, and other partners.

Globally, humans face innumerable socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental problems while being threatened by ever more interconnected and complex geopolitical concerns. In this planetary context, unidisciplinary research and related teaching approaches often work to constrain our ability to move beyond institutional and bureaucratic mindsets to become agents of social change within local systems impacting children. During its 40-year evolution from a sub-discipline of psychology, the international field of child and youth studies has sought common ground for interpreting these pedagogical and professional issues. Many authors now argue for transdisciplinary approaches to address and overcome these tensions in the effort to re-integrate epistemologies of the global South within more dominant global North knowledge production systems. Such approaches have been posited to add new analytical and methodological tools to achieve praxis-the Greek word for translating theory into practice. Transdisciplinary research transcends the usual gap between academia and the broader public by acknowledging the value of knowledge obtained from diverse, nonacademic stakeholders in the community, government, and business. In addition, these approaches in child and youth studies offer us new possibilities for translating and understanding the local and global implications of implementing the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Child, and the vast differences in the experiences of childhood amongst and between various socioeconomic, cultural, and political contexts in recognizing their own rights in situ.

Institutionalised Children Explorations and Beyond

Senem Cilingiroglu

This year marks thirty years since the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the Convention) entered into force and ten years since the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children (the Guidelines) were adopted. The term ‘alternative care’ refers to the placing of children in the care of someone other than a parent. Although the seven South Asian countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – have ratified the Convention, each of the jurisdictions has reflected the Convention and Guidelines through domestic law in different ways and to different degrees. This article examines the extent to which two key child rights principles enshrined in the Convention have been incorporated into the domestic law of these countries: (a) the obligation to undertake active measures to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families and (b) the placing of a child in alternative care as a measure of last resort. While progress has been made a...

Despite the majority of Nepalese children struggling to meet basic needs there have been negligible attempts to examine the effectiveness of social policies for children in Nepal. Equally challenging is the use of inappropriate frameworks, primarily the UN-Child Rights Convention (UNCRC), the development approach, and a non-hierarchical notion of child well-being (CWB) to conceptualise such policies. This calls for alternate approaches such as welfare state frameworks (WSF) while formulating such policies. But despite the usefulness of WSF in combating absolute child poverty in the West these frameworks are rarely applied in the ‘developing’ world. Hence in the first of its kind this study uses the overall theoretical guidance of a WSF and specific theories of welfare state regime (Esping-Anderson, 1990) and welfare regime (Gough and Wood, 2004) to examine social policy and CWB in Nepal. This study uses a critical epistemology for investigation. Whilst the study is exploratory, it h...

S have shown that social protection programme can be detrimental to children if it is not designed and implemented in a proper way. Even programmes focusing on children can be countereffective and can leave a long-term adverse effect in the lives of children. This article aims to assess the children focused social protection programmes in Nepal from a child rights perspective with a specific consideration around the area of social assistance. This article adopts a Core Diagnostic Systems Assessment Instrument (CODI) tool and is primarily based on secondary data. Results show that the current social protection system, especially focused on children, in Nepal lacks several elements of child sensitivity such as ‘adequacy’, ‘respect rights and dignity’ in designing and implementation. Furthermore, though the Government of Nepal prioritise social assistance by channeling reasonable funding, the share of children focused programmes is relatively low. Any investment made on children curren...

Children are more vulnerable than adults to the conditions under which they live. Hence, they are more affected than any other age group by the actions and inaction of governments and society. Children being children do not have political rights and hence do not have a voice that can be heard. Children constitute over a third of India's population and yet they are only perceived as the ‘future generation’ of economically contributing adults and not as citizens of today. According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children - that India ratified in 1992 - all children are born with fundamental rights: Right to Survival, Right to Development, Right to Protection, and Right to Participation. The Constitution of India especially through a series of National Laws and Policies ensures these Rights but enforcement gaps in child related legislation have an altogether a different story to tell. The objective of this paper is to identify these gaps and the reasons behind them. The present paper provides a conceptual understanding of the importance of the political presence of issues and legislation pertaining to children in the socio- political and economic framework of a developing country like India. The economic viability of a whole generation depends on the recognition and representation of core issues, ruling out enforcement gaps through implementation of existing legislation and formulating progressive, developmental and futuristic policies in order to ensure continuity. Keywords: vulnerable, political rights, fundamental rights, United Nations, Constitution, legislation, enforcement gaps, implementation, continuity

Essay on child rights in nepal

                            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.
