The 59th National Children's Day is being observed across the country today. National Children's Day is being marked by organizing several programs on the theme 'Investing in our future means investing in our children'. The United Nations General Assembly endorsed the Covenant on Children's Rights on November 20, 1989. Nepal passed the convention on September 14, 1990. The day has since been marked as Children's Day.
The Nepal Constitution has guaranteed the overall development of children by defining children's rights as fundamental rights. The Constitution has also included arrangements related to child protection, child preservation, child development, and child participation. As per the commitment made in the UN Child Rights Convention of 1989 and other international instruments, the Nepal government has formulated and implemented its laws and policies accordingly.
Minister for Women, Children, and Senior Citizens and Chairperson of the National Child Rights Council, Surendra Raj Acharya, expressed his ministry's commitment to implement constitutionally guaranteed child rights. He also highlighted the coordinated roles of the federal, provincial, and local governments for the protection and promotion of children's rights. A challenge has emerged to effectively protect and promote child rights in view of changing technology, urbanization, and worldwide values and circumstances._Rss
