Through the help of public campaigns, advocacy and different public Hilfsprogramme, CWIN tried its best to develop the non-issues of child related problems into issues and convert them into the political agendas. These days, the rights of working children have become an important political agenda of the rights of the child movement, human rights and trade union movement in Nepal. An overwhelming majority of children in our society has been deprived of the right to education. Many of those who happen to be in the school for the time being are also dropped out or pulled out due to various social and cultural reasons. In fact, education is a process which will enable people to find a broader horizon in life.
Education is essential in order to be liberated from all sorts of exploitation and oppression.
In our context, education plays a very significant role in combating child labour. It is said that a good Education Act is better than other acts to prevent and control child labour. However, we have not adopted such conception in practice yet. This kind of law would not only ensure the right to education of working children but would also give certain obligatory role to the states and guardians as education is not only the right of children but also the obligation of adults. Experience has proved that there are tremendous drop-out rates from the schools.
