rights of the child

This paper deals with the idea that, to overcome child poverty, children must have the possibility to enjoy their rights. Of course, there are rights which are written in the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) that are far away to the reality of the children who are in each corner of the world, but these rights are a general ethical framework that the humanity could use in order to humanize the children and human life (Cussianovich, 2010). The right to survive, to life and to have human dignity, are some rights that cannot be fully enjoyed because of the existence of poverty. There are children who are suffering extremely because of the deprivation of rights related with poverty. When child poverty is thought from a rights-based approach, the children are recognized as subjects of rights, as human’s beings.

A study to assess and measure the breaches in the child rights Background: Children signify eternal optimism in the human being and provide potential for the development. Every nation whether developed or developing, links its future with the status of child. An understanding of the physical, social and behavioral factors is conducive to assess the current situation and vulnerability of any child. To ensure the utmost level of health and safety of a child, we need to have an insight of the violation of child rights. We conducted this study to assess and measure the breaches in child rights. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 200 children between 10 to 18 years of age in one of the fi eld practice areas of Community Medicine department, B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad. Results: More than 90% of the children were born in the hospital settings, fully vaccinated and living with their parents. Of these, 60% of the children reported to have some kind of illness in the past one year, and majority of them approached healthcare facility for that the treatment. Of these, 26% of them had low birth weight (LBW) and 68% had body mass index (BMI) <18.5. About 93% of the children were enrolled in either government or private school and out of them, 54% complained of the burden of either homework or tuition. Of these, 6.5% children were school dropouts and all of them were girls; 4% of them were child labors. Conclusion: The study indicated positive fi ndings in the areas of child survival, development and to some extent, in the domain of right to participation, though there were poor environmental conditions and recreational activities. Prevalence of malnutrition and child labor was also high. Study results highlighted the need for adequate services in these areas.

Abstract: In the Earlier part of the 20th century, ‘Child Rights’ remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. India, is not an exemption, even it is blessed with the important legislations, constitutional provisions and remarkable judgments on child rights, which is always build on the platform of relevant regional and international mechanisms and international standards of behaviour towards children, still it fails while addressing and eliminating the issues of children mostly from the deep roots of our Indian society. Here in this Paper researcher suggest some innovative measures through a close understanding of the socio-cultural Identities of the Indian Society, which helps to eradicate the ‘extreme roots of poverty’, charging means (Economic & Social) towards child labour and child trafficking, with the strong support of Constitutional Norms and Innovative socio-educational nuances in the Indian society. These measures are succeeded to a large extend in the ‘Rurban’ areas of India. Keywords: Dynamics of Child labour, extreme roots of Poverty, Socio-educational nuances, Constitutional Norms

If we are to nurture and strengthen democracy and build a secular society in India, participation by all as equal citizens is imperative. In this regard, education of the whole population is essential. Although the transformation of a country from a high level of illiteracy to one of near universal literacy cannot be achieved overnight, the fact remains that the status of a child going to school contrasts sharply with that of a full-time worker, even in a situation of low literacy levels. The school going child is treated primarily as a student and any work performed by him/her cannot be at the expense of his/her school activities. In other words, it is accepted that the primary activity of the child is that of a student and not a worker. Therefore, any programme to increase literacy levels among children must necessarily also be a programme to reduce the incidence of child labour. The two objectives are contingent on each other.

My study mainly concentrates on the promises that given by the government in order to protect child right and the performance of that activities and also the conditions and status of children in India.
