In this week's Weekly Reading Circle at Door Step School Foundation, we delved into the topic of "Understanding Child Rights and the UNCRC" through an insightful article written by our colleague Mandar Shinde, titled "संयुक्त राष्ट्र बालहक्क करार - UNCRCची ३० वर्ष" (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child - 30 Years of the UNCRC).
The objective of the session was to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of 'Child' and explore the comprehensive set of rights outlined in the 41 articles of the UNCRC, which define the human rights that every child under 18 is entitled to.
Our discussion revolved around key questions, such as:
What is the definition of a 'Child'?
How does the UNCRC's definition of 'Child' differ from those found in the Indian Constitution, various educational policies, IPC (Indian Penal Code), child labor laws, and Indian socio-cultural contexts?
What is the correlation between India's educational policies and specific UNCRC articles related to the right to education?
Why is it crucial for educators and facilitators to engage with policy documents, especially when working with children from marginalized communities?
