Speaking at the House of Representatives meeting on Thursday, she noted it has been conveyed that the previous government had made the decision to dissolve the council. She emphasized the necessity for the current government to reconsider it. “It has been heard that the previous government decided to dissolve the National Child Rights Council. I earnestly appeal to the Government of Nepal to halt the immediate implementation of this decision until there is a clear alternative framework and effective system in place, given the sensitive nature of child rights protection and children’s entitlements,” she said.

She also expressed dissatisfaction with the government dissolving the council without establishing alternative arrangements for safeguarding children’s rights, interests, and protection. “Furthermore, I urge the government to engage in extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders for reconsideration. In my view, children constitute the most vulnerable group. I do not consider a poor person vulnerable, but rather those who are innocent and weak should be recognized as such,” she added.
