Policy dialogue with Law makers

We Sensitized Law makers about their roles/responsibilities, influencing them for the needed amendments in policies and laws to safeguard/support children to enjoy their rights.

We have been successful in our Policy Advocacy in achieving the following Policy/Legal changes:

• All forms of abuse, harms, violence against children, adolescents/youths have been legally prohibited by the Constitution of Nepal and provisioned Protection measures for children from any violation of their human rights.

• Government introduced the national policy on inclusive education for children with disabilities in the year 2016.
• Provision of additional time for children with disabilities in the schools' and board examinations which was later extended to University examinations as well.
• Scholarship schemes for the children with physical/multiple disabilities for education support at home who cannot come to school
• Registration system for child clubs
• Together with other child rights organization, we influenced constitution drafting committee, supported designing the section on Provisions for children andchild rights protection, from any violation of children's human rights.
• We were in the team to support MoWCSW to design the New Child Act, which awaits cabinet of ministers' approval though; also in designing children's Participation rights including the participation rights of children with disabilities.
• Hatemalo always represented in every policy formulation for children by the government.
