Prioritise Child Safeguarding Agenda - The Rising Nepal

Prioritise Child Safeguarding Agenda

".... the apex ministry mandated to oversee all related activities—the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens (MoWCSC)—is chronically under-resourced. 

The state of poor safeguarding, often reflected in regular reports, surfaces regarding corporal punishment, inappropriate touching, and bullying incidents in schools. Sadly, many more go unnoticed. Furthermore, many children are deprived of proper sanitary hygiene at school due to the absence of adequate toilet facilities. Tragically, some children lose their lives or suffer life-changing injuries while traveling to or from school, often due to falls, drowning, animal attacks, or road crashes."
