Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child held a briefing session on “State of Child Rights in view of Pakistan’s International Commitments” at National Press Club, on Thursday.
Civil society organizations, working towards the promotion and protection of child’s rights, stressed the need for a strategy to ensure the implementation of laws to meet Pakistan’s obligations under the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child.
Khalil Ahmed Dogar, Program Manager, SPARC said that Pakistan was the sixth and first Muslim country that signed the UNCRC 30 years ago.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is often identified as the standard source for measuring child rights.
We need to work on the foremost infrastructural reforms that are required to uplift the living standard of Pakistan’s children.
Whether it’s health and nutrition, hazardous labour, early marriages, trafficking, sexual abuse, and exploitation; significant reforms are required to ensure that the rights of all children are protected and delivered.
