Islamabad:
A report on the rights of the child presented by the National Commission for the Rights of the Child (NCRC) seeks to attract attention to emerging issues, such as climate -related vulnerabilities, the protection of the child online and the situation of the marginalized groups, a NCRC official said on Sunday.
The children’s state report in Pakistan 2024, prepared in accordance with sections 15 and 17 of the NCRC law, 2017, provides an evidence -based evaluation of the state of children throughout the country.
The report discusses the international obligations of Pakistan and Pakistan’s commitment to international human rights mechanisms and frameworks.
On this basis, the report adopts a thematic approach and examines the rights of children in the four central pillars of the UNCRC: development, survival, protection and participation. Each section examines emerging trends, legal frameworks, institutional responses and disparities, the official added.
A multiple evidence -based methodology was used, combining a comprehensive review of literature, secondary data analysis and participation of stakeholders.
According to this research, analytical tools and data templates were developed and shared with federal and provincial services holders to promote consistency and inclusion in data collection.
The scope and thematic priorities of the report were identified in line with the strategic plan 2023-26 of the NCRC, ensuring alignment with its mandate and the National Children’s Rights Agenda.
These templates specifically requested data disaggregated by gender, a state of disability and minority identity to identify the disparities that affect marginalized children.
