Children and Their Rights Program Successfully Conducted at Namo Buddha School, Tokha
A team of Tokha Nagar Baal Sanjal, with the support of Legal Literacy Nepal (LLN), successfully conducted a one-day awareness program titled “Children and Their Rights” on 25 February 2026 at Namo Buddha School, Tokha-6. A total of 30 students, including 23 boys and 7 girls, actively participated in the program. The session was facilitated by Yubaraj Magar, Prabin Shrestha, and Pratus Banjade. The primary objective of the program was to raise awareness among children about child rights, child protection, their needs and wishes, and issues related to harassment. The facilitators gathered prior to the session to plan the training flow and ensure a child-friendly and engaging learning environment.
The program officially commenced at 10:45 am and was conducted in three interactive sessions. The first session focused on child rights, including the definition of a child, the four pillars of child rights, and key principles guiding child rights. Students showed great enthusiasm and actively engaged in discussions. The second session covered child protection, highlighting the importance of special rights for children, understanding needs versus wishes, and discussing different forms of harassment, including where, when, and by whom it can occur. The facilitators worked collaboratively to create a supportive and open learning atmosphere. The third session encouraged students to express their personal needs and wishes through a meta-card exercise, which ensured full participation and allowed children to confidently share their thoughts.
The program concluded successfully with strong student engagement and meaningful learning outcomes. Participants demonstrated increased awareness of child rights and protection issues and felt encouraged to speak openly about their concerns. The initiative created a safe and positive space for children to learn and interact. Legal Literacy Nepal appreciates the active involvement of Tokha Nagar Baal Sanjal and recommends conducting similar programs in the future to further strengthen child rights awareness and protection efforts.
