5. Put simply, child rights are the human rights of
children. Every child, regardless of their age,
race, gender, wealth or birthplace, has rights.

 Who firstly introduce the child Rights.
 Low and Articles of child Rights.
 Child Rights in World.
 Child Rights in Pakistan.
 Child abusing in Pakistan.

7.  These rights are enshrined in international law
in the Convention on the Rights of the
Child (CRC). It recognizes all children must be
treated fairly, equally and with dignity. The
child rights convention laws are non-
discriminatory and are always in the best
interests of the child.

8.  A child is recognized and described by the
United Nations (UN) children’s rights
convention as every human being below the
age of 18 years unless under the law
applicable to the child, adulthood is attained
earlier.

9.  The UN’s child rights state that children are
entitled to special protection and assistance
because they are considered vulnerable.
According to the CRC, all children should grow
up in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance,
freedom, equality and solidarity, and all
nations have a responsibility to provide these
rights by the law of the UN.

10.  At World Vision, we see children as agents of
transformation. When we partner with
communities on community-led projects –
powered by people like you – we can help
protect them from abuse, forced labour and
conflict. We help them to build a brighter future
for themselves and the next generation of
children to come.

11.  We have a responsibility for the children who
participate in our programs. We teach children
about their rights, equipping them with the
skills to speak up for themselves and
educating their communities about what is and
what isn’t acceptable behavior towards
children.
 We push for policy change at a local, national
and global level so that we can impact the
largest number of children possible through
our work.

12.  Following the devastating aftermath of the
world wars of the 20th century and their
psychological and physical impact on children,
the United Nations (UN) decided that the
human rights of children required special
protection.

13.  After World War I, the League of Nations (which
would later become the UN) drafted the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights which included the
rights to life, food, shelter, education, freedom of
speech and religion, justice and peace.
 Recognizing that children were especially
vulnerable, the UN agreed to adopt the
Declaration of Geneva on Children’s Rights. This
declaration was short with only five statements,
but it outlined a list of responsibilities towards
children who were considered vulnerable.

14.  After the Second World War, the United
Nations General Assembly accepted the
Declaration of the Rights of the Child. This
declaration paved the way for the adoption of
the Convention on the Rights of the Child in

international text to protect children’s rights.

30.  In 2019, the world marked the 30th anniversary
of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on
World Children’s Day, 20 November. World
Children’s Day is an opportunity to raise
awareness on child rights, inspire a
recommitment from governments and
communities to realize those rights, promote
accountability and spur people to act.

31.  In an ideal world, participants to the
convention would apply each article to their
own country’s educational, health, legal and
social services. Unfortunately, this is not the
case.
 Across the globe, hundreds of millions of
children are being denied their dignity,
freedom, future and childhood when their
rights are not protected by these participants.

32.  The International Labour Organization (ILO),
estimates that 218 million children are working
as child laborers around the world. These
children are refused the opportunity to go to
school, play with friends or receive the right
nutrition and care for a healthy and fulfilled
life. Instead, they are forced to work long
hours for little reward

33.  Reported cases of child abuse increased by 11
per cent in year 2018 compared to 2017, with
more than 10 children suffering some form of
abuse every day in Pakistan

34.  3,832 cases of child abuse reported in 2018
 33pc rise seen in child sexual abuse cases
 Girls found to be more vulnerable between
ages 0-5 and 16-18
 Boys found to be more vulnerable between
ages 6-10 and 11-15
 Most child abuse cases reported from Punjab,
followed by Sindh and KP

35.  From January to June in the current year, 1,304
cases of sexual abuse of children have been
reported by the media in the country, which
means that at least seven children are abused
daily, reveals in a report released by a child
rights organization, Sahil.

36.  According to the report, the data from January
to June in 2019 reveals that 729 girls and 575
boys became victims of sexual exploitation.
Over 10 children were abused every day in
Pakistan in 2018. The most common perpetrator
of the child sex abuse was an acquaintance
with the victim and the victim’s family. Most
victims (414) were between 11 and 15 years old.

37.  The 1973 Constitution guarantees and protects the
fundamental rights of citizens, including children.
Article 25(1) provides that “all citizens are equal
before law and entitled to equal protection of
law”. Article 25(2) provides that “there shall be no
discrimination on the basis of sex alone”. Article 35
provides that “the state shall protect the marriage,
the family, the mother and the child”. Despite this
expression protection provided under the
Constitution, laws pertaining to crimes against
children exist in the most haphazard manner with
no coherence with each other; and the state
continues to fail in protecting the children of this
country.

38.  The Convention on the Rights of The Child (1989)
outlines the fundamental rights of children,
including the right to be protected from economic
exploitation and harmful work, from all forms of
sexual exploitation and abuse, and from physical
or mental violence as well as ensuring that
children will not be separated from their family
against their will. These rights are further refined
by two Optional Protocols, one on the sale of
children, child prostitution and child pornography
and the other on the involvement of children in
armed conflict.
