National Child Protection Conference i
Child protection is one of the most sensitive domains of child rights. Though all the rights entitled to
the children by the national and international instruments are inalienable and inseparable. All the rights
have to be ensured at the same time and it cannot be given in installments. However, there are certain
situations where we have to prioritize our actions in ensuring the right of the children. In this regard,
if we look through the broader four domains of child right i.e., participation, protection, survival and
development, we can see some level of achievement in three domains of child right ie, participation,
survival and development. However child protection is yet to be ensured and this domain seems to be
the least concerned issue by the state mechanism as well. Having said this, we cannot deny some of the
remarkable achievement gained after Nepal became party state to the convention on the right of the
children.
Civil society movement for the protection and promoting of the right of the children initiated even before
promulgation of the UN convention on the Right of the Child and its enactment back in the year 1989.
Nepal became party state to this convention a year after its enactment. If we take the year of ratification
of the UN CRC by the state as baseline, though child right is something already into discussion, there has
been some remarkable achievement during this time. Most important is various civil society organizations
establishedspontaneouslywiththeaimofensuringtherightsofthechildren.Duringthesametimevarious
civil society organizations united to form a common alliance and to raise specific domains of child right.
As an example, National Child Protection Alliance (NCPA) was established though in the later time of
history for creating collective voice all around Nepal in ensuring right to protection of children. Similarly,
Consortium of Organizations Working for Participation of Children (Consortium), Children as Zone of
Peace and Protection (CZOPP) has also been established for promoting the right of the children. There
has been substantive change in right to development with the achievement of above 95% enrollment rate
in the primary education which has been achieved as a result of millennium development goal related to
education for all. Similarly Nepal got rewarded for achieving remarkable improvement in infant mortality
rate. In addition to the effort from the government side, effort from the civil society for their proactive
involvement in working as a watch dog, pressure group and supplementing the government effort in
providing basic services to the community remained crucial.
There is some disappointing scenario in the right of protection of children when the nation is enjoying
some level of achievement in remaining three domains of the child right. This is against the universal
principle of inalienability and inseparability of the Human Rights. Statistics shows around 1.6 million
children are in labour sector of which around 0.6 million are into hazardous forms. These are the children
who are vulnerable to be deprived of other rights. This high proportion in the labour sector answers the
question of “where are the remaining 5% when 95% are enrolled into school?” These children into labour
sector are the one who are exposed to multiple risks of trafficking, sexual abuse, physical abuse and use of
children in illicit acts.
NCPA has been working since its establishment to protect and promote the right to protection of
the children. It has organized two national conferences. The first conference exposed the major child

protection agenda form the local and thematically unconcerned areas. For example right to protection
of the children belonging to Muslim community and LGBTI had not yet come into mainstream debate.
However the conference mainstreamed those issues into national debate. The second conference brought
all the thematic discussions into a prioritized area of child protection problems and tried to seek the
solution through policy analysis and implementation gap in the presence of wider range of stakeholders
including sectoral government agencies representation.
I would like to thank Minister for Women Children and Social Welfare Honorable Ms. Neelam KC for

as chief guest. I also would like to thank Mr. Dilliram Giri, chairperson of Central Child Welfare Board,
Mr. Dinesh Hari Adhikari, secretary of Ministry for Children Women and Social Welfare, Ms. Haana
Singer, Country Representative of UNICEF, Mr. Gauri Pradhan, former commissioner, National Human
Rights Commission for addressing the inaugural ceremony of the conference.
This conference was designed to make a live interaction between policy implementing agencies of the
government and the civil society. In this sense there were two presentations in each of the session,
one from the government on policy provision and implementation and another form the civil society
organization to analyze critically the implementation of the policy provision, their effectiveness and gaps
to be addressed. I would like to thank the all the paper presenter from the government agencies who
agreed to receive critical analysis over the policy provision and implementation status. I would also like to
thank all the presenters from the civil society organizations for presenting their critical perspective over
the policy and analyzing the gaps.
I am grateful to NCPA executive Board members for their cooperation in organizing the conference.
Thanks are to the general members who actively participated in the conference with greater enthusiasm.
Sincere thanks to Executive Board of CWISH for allowing their resources including financial and human

1.1 Background of conference:
Children are the future of nation. Recent census shows that children population consists forty

malnourishment and hunger stricken which is the serious issue of children to be addressed. Children of
Nepal are intertwined in to different problems and issues of varying geographical regions. Children have
been facing different problems arising from different communities, castes, poverty, illiteracy and some
harmful traditional/cultural practices.
Among the main issues of child protection are child labor, child sexual abuse, child marriage,
human trafficking, domestic violence, discrimination, and school dropout. Child labor constitutes more
than 1.8 million, 45% children are sexually abused and almost 36.5% children are married before 15
years of age. Also, children are victims of domestic violence, corporal punishments and abduction which
are prevalent in the country.
Though there are many initiations and efforts for child protection from state actors with state
mechanisms, nongovernmental organizations and civil societies but still the problems are ever present.
In adequate governmental policies and budgetary expenditures, poor planning and implementation of
budgets at local level and inefficient implementation of laws are seen as the problems of child protection
and thence their proper development. Contextual understanding of different dimensions of child

and practicing uniform understanding.
Successively, executive director of CCWB, Mr. Tarak Dhital, recommended intervening root
cause of child’s separation and proposed to develop a preventive mechanism, incorporate institutional
process of case management, capacitating family for child care and sustainable intervention to child
protection. Identifying the need, he suggested social workers in each level of state to facilitate services
and monitor child foster homes. Indicating legal clarity he emphasized to articulate the CCWB’s Terms
of Reference, and establish unanimous monitoring mechanism. He also assured that the CCWB and its
officials from seventy-five districts of Nepal will always be supportive and liable to child right protection.
From the floor, discussion was on developing a preventive mechanism, incorporate institutional
process of case management, capacitating family for childcare and sustainable intervention to child
protection. Care homes are not up to the government standard and self monitoring mechanism
should be established. In closing remarks, Chairperson Mr. Adhikari appreciated the conference for
highlighting the current pressing issue of child protection. Further, he emphasized the need to revise
and expand the 2048 Act in addressing the emergent issues of child protection. He also disclosed that
the process of establishing a desk for children in each district offices is about to finalize. In addition, he
mentioned that there is a standard for childcare homes instigated by government but widely criticized
by the childcare homes and clearly addressed that government can be flexible but non-compliance
would not be excuse and not entertained.

points of child rights. In a way forward, Mr. Pradhan
suggested to include right to nationality, educational,
compensation to victim of child sex abuse as state
obligation in new constitution putting children’s best
interest, participation of children at primacy. He also

Child Protection was held among
the participant guests all across from

Annex 1
Suggestions and Demands
1. We demand provision of fast track court for any cases of violence and sexual abuses against
children and compensation with guaranteed health, education and other facilities of the victim
form the national treasury.
2. Our law clearly prohibits child labour in formal sector of labour like mines, industries/factories.
Besides formal sector, there is large number of children in informal sector of labour as well who
are in need of special protection. We demand that child labor in informal sectors like domestic
labor, tea shops, hotel /motel as well be addressed through law and be prohibited.
3. Parents are still bound to pay good amount of money to the school despite the government has
announced free basic education to all. We demand free and compulsory education for every child
up to high school level.
4. Millions of children are punished and tortured physically and mentally in name of discipline
in schools and homes. We demand for the formulation of legal provisions banning all forms of
corporal punishment both in home and in the school and create child friendly environment.
5. Children occupy half of the country’s population. Though there has been National Human Right
Commission (NHRC) for monitoring of the cases of violation of human rights. However there is
no specific constitutional body to monitor the situation of child rights in the country. NHRC as
well is not paying serious concern into the cases of violation of child rights. In this context, we
demand that an independent constitutional Child Right Commission be formed and monitor the
situation of child right in the country.
6. We demand that government form and endorse institutional system which ensures meaningful
participation of children in decision making processes that influences them.
7. We strongly appeal for ban of use of children in for any political purposes like their use in rally or
in any other forms of demonstrations.
8. We demand free health care services and treatment facility for the children.
9. We demand for the legal provision that all the political parties, enterprise or business or industries
or any other forms of institutions have their child protection policy.
10. Orphan or the children whose parents are not identifies still have difficulties in getting citizenship
certificate. We strongly demand the government to make an immediate action in resolving the
citizenship issue for these children.
Honorable CA Member,
There are national and international commitments for child rights. We request to put your personal efforts
in making of new constitution which shall be child friendly, highly dedicated and concerned for children’s
welfare.

Honorable CA member,
Constitutional Assembly, International Conference Centre
New Baneshwore, Kathamandu
Sub: Submission of suggestions
Respected,
We are now in the process of drafting constitution. Every caste, ethnic groups and communities are active
in raising their voices to ensure their inclusion in the new constitution. It is necessary for children, who
constitute 44% of the total population that there are sufficient provisions for protecting the rights of the
children as aspired by many of the national and international legal provisions and commitments. Recent
statistics accounts 1.6 million children involved in child labor. Similarly, Study on Sexual abuse: Silent
Suffering of Children 2003 reports 45% of children are sexually abused while thousands of children are
vulnerable to domestic violence, corporal punishment and abduction.
In this context, to ensure protection of child rights in new constitution, National Child Protection
Alliance (NCPA), a network of 38 different national organizations working in child protection along with
the children submits our suggestions and demands into the Respected Constitution Assembly for the
formulation of child right sensitive constitution.
The demand letter is based on the conclusion of interaction meetings between children and member
organization of NCPA held in more than 50 different places.
Sincerely,
…………………………….
On the Behalf of NCPA Secretariat
