Bangladesh government declared Child Rights Week from October 5 to 11. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina virtually inaugurated the week through a video conference today morning. Since 2009 National Child Rights Week has been observed every year under the leadership of Ministry and Children Affairs. This year the week will be observed in a limited scope due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Like previous years this year also Educo Bangladesh is observing the week in a befitting manner in collaboration with Bangladesh Shishu Adhikar Forum, Joining Forces Bangladesh, National Girls Child Advocacy Forum and Child Rights Coalition in Bangladesh. A series of events have been organized with the participation of children, policy makers, government officials, advocates, civil society members and development partners to commemorate the week.
As a joint effort Educo Bangladesh has published posters on the theme which have been distributed among all key stakeholders at local and national level.
