Nepal: Children Affected During People's Movement

Almost half of Nepal's population is comprised of children. Therefore, children are always affected during social events. In the wake of the current political unrest in the country, children are affected both directly and indirectly. Currently, the entire nation has come together in the hope of reinstalling democracy in the country. The mass uprising has affected each and every aspect of the society in some shape or form. Being an integral part of the society, it is inevitable that children can not be separated by such massive social movement.

 


In every circumstance children have a fundamental right to be protected. Similarly, the insurance of the safety of children is a mandatory responsibility of both the State and every adult of a dynamic society. This is a duty that no responsible adult can turn their back on. Furthermore, with regard to the government, it is a far greater responsibility viewed from the perspective of legal action and the overall duties of the governing body of the State. The State should be responsible and sensitive regarding any matter concerning the children.
