Understanding Child Rights in Nepal: Laws and Protections Explained
Nepal has made significant strides in promoting child rights through strong constitutional and legal protections, including the Constitution of Nepal, 2072, and the Children’s Act, 2075. Children are guaranteed rights to survival, development, protection from abuse, education, and participation. Despite legal progress, challenges like poverty, child labor, and discrimination persist. Effective enforcement, public awareness, and collaborative efforts between the government, civil society, and communities are essential to make these rights a living reality. Aligning national laws with global standards, Nepal remains committed to creating a safer, healthier, and more inclusive environment for every child.
