ABOUT

   2. Taking extra care about the recognition of rights including legal, civil, cultural, economic rights independent of their parents.
   
   
   
   


2. This seminar will focus on critical evaluation of the existing mechanism which has been put in place for the protection of children.


3. As the children form the future of the country, this seminar aims at making effective child care structure after analysing the socio-economic factors which prompt then to come in conflict with law.


4. This seminar will give voice to the children and enable them to feel safe by speaking for themselves and by reporting abuse, exploitation and injustice they are suffering from.
