Spotlight on child rights mechanisms in India
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Indira Gandhi National Open University organised an “International and Comparative Human Rights Law Practicum” for visiting students of William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, at the premises of Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights here on Monday to discuss child rights mechanisms in India.
Around 30 students from the law school attended the practicum where DCPCR chairperson Amod Kanth and other members addressed queries and suggestions regarding child rights in the country.
Students had queries pertaining to child rights as portrayed in films like “ Slumdog Millionaire”, children-related cybercrime, lack of political will to address child rights, adoption mechanisms and mechanisms to deal with migrant labourers' children.
One of the faculty members accompanying the students also raised the issue of child trafficking in India and suggested a strong mechanism for registration of all newborns in the country as a solution. Mr. Kanth welcomed the suggestion but added that non-institutional deliveries in India make it difficult to trace and record all births.
The two-hour practicum was also attended by DCPCR members M. M. Vidyarthi, Shashank Shekhar, Zeeshana Khan and Sarita Sarangi.
