Project Saanjh - Phase 3

Description

On March 22, 2025, Rotaract Club of Bangalore SouthWest collaborated with Rotaract Club of Genesis Midwest, RI District 3131 to conduct a webinar on Children Rights. The event aimed at understanding the children’s right and the challenges faced by them. The session was conducted by Vanshika Ashu, final year law student at Amity Law School. The session started with the discussion on Children’s Right which refers to the basic human rights and freedoms that all children are entitled to, regardless of where they live. These rights are grounded in the principle that children are entitled to special protection and care due to their vulnerability. They are designed to ensure children have the opportunity to grow, develop, and reach their full potential in a safe and supportive environment. The most widely recognized framework for children's rights is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989. It consists of 54 articles outlining the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children. Post that, the session progressed with some real-time challenges faced by the youth and the ways through which they can overcome them. Finally, the webinar came to end after a small Q&A session.
