A Team of Tokha Nagar Baal Sanjal, with the support of Legal Literacy Nepal (LLN), successfully organized an orientation program entitled “Children and Their Rights” at Shree Chandeswori School, Tokha–2 on 23 February 2026. The session was attended by 37 students (20 boys and 17 girls) from Grades 6 and 7.

The class was facilitated by Selene Jaa Dangol and Sangita Lama, with observation and support from Yubraj Magar, an intern at Legal Literacy Nepal. The program aimed to enhance the facilitation skills of children who had previously completed a three-day Training of Trainers conducted by Legal Literacy Nepal, while also increasing awareness among students about their fundamental rights, needs and wishes, child protection, corporal punishment, harassment, and different types of touch.

The program began at 10:45 AM following preparatory discussions among the facilitation team to ensure a child-friendly and engaging learning environment.

Session 1 covered the definition of a child, the four pillars of child rights, and the key principles underpinning child rights. The session was highly interactive, with enthusiastic participation from students. Session 2 focused on children’s needs and wishes and discussed the importance of special rights to support their proper growth and development. Students actively contributed by sharing their thoughts and experiences. Session 3 highlighted child protection, including the importance of safeguarding children, understanding harassment (where, when, and by whom it may occur), identifying types of touch (good touch, bad touch, and confusing touch), and examining the harmful effects of corporal punishment.

The sessions were jointly facilitated, fostering a supportive and participatory atmosphere. The program enhanced students’ awareness of child rights and protection laws, encouraged active engagement, and motivated children to express their concerns confidently.

Overall, the program concluded successfully, providing a safe space for children to learn and share. The positive feedback from participants underscored the importance of continuing similar awareness initiatives in schools.
