In a recent survey carried out by KidsRights, Pakistan stands at 154 out of 182 countries on the Global Child Rights index because Pakistan lacks an optimum legal system and adequate implementation mechanism tailored for the development and protection of child rights. A number of issues delay progress in this important area, including the lack of legislation and barriers to enforcement of legislation.
Pakistan’s existing domestic legislation in comparison to Pakistan’s international commitments with respect to the protection and promotion of child rights needs serious review. The discrepancies between international and domestic standards needs early redress.
