It has also urged them to comply with different national and international laws related to child rights, take action against those involved in violating child rights, protect child rights by guaranteeing the basic rights of children, and carry out necessary activities to run child correction centers in a systematic manner.

Similarly, the NHRC has asked all citizens, guardians, political parties, right activists and general people to carry out works in a result-oriented manner for the protection and advocacy of child rights.

It has urged the three-tier governments to pay special attention on various issues including difficulties in birth registration of children and identity, child labor, deprivation of health and education, risk of trafficking, victim of sexual violence.

The NHRC pointed out that the children taking shelter with their parents in jail are fully deprived of human rights and that the child correction centers are not human rights friendly.
