Child Rights Protection workshop concluded in FLI

A five day workshop on Child Rights Protection was held in last week in the FLI. Seven people from three language communities attended the workshop. Language communities from Northern-Pakistan included Hindko, Palula and Indus Kohistani.

In line with the objectives of the workshop the participants have agreed to allow a child to grow strong and healthy. They had discussion on CRC (Convention on the Rights of the Child) and identified the main issues in their communities. They also generated ideas to disseminate information in that regard. Building the capacity of participants who were teachers, supervisors and coordinators in the protection of child rights was the main purpose of the workshop; getting deeper understanding of concepts of abuse, causes and consequences. Identification of signs of abuse, and learning of key techniques to protect their rights were imparted. How to empower children and how to advocate for their rights were what the discussion covered.

The workshop was facilitated by Literacy Officer, Naseem Haidar, Training Coordinator, Amir Haidar and Monitoring and Evaluation Officer Ms. Bushra Malik.
