Subject: NEED TO TAKE STEPS FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
Honourable Sir,
Greetings and peace from Pakistan Minorities Teachers’ Association (PMTA).
PMTA would like to draw your kind attention on the subject cited above.
Sir, pedophiles have badly shaken the Pakistani society. Rapes and murders of underage girls and boys after abduction have raised many questions on the child rights.
It is needed to take immediate steps for the protection of children.
1. Children must be protected under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
2. Establishment of Child Rights Commissions at provincial levels.
3. It is needed to define the age of the child in the Constitution of Pakistan as it has been universally defined. It is further to review Article 11 (3) and Article 25 (A) of the Constitution of Pakistan regarding the age of the child.
4. There must be implementation on “Child Marriage Restraint Act” with letter and spirit. It has also been observed that pedophiles mostly abduct and marry minority girls as they are soft target for their sexual entertainment.
5. Contents must be developed in the school curricula to aware children to protect themselves from pedophiles.
With best regards.
PROF. ANJUM JAMES PAUL
CHAIRMAN
