Child Rights Governance

"There must be another way to teach children other than to hit and scold them!"

This concern was raised and discussed with the participants of the PDEP facilitator training program - "Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting" in February and March in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Information about the research on children physical and mental punishment, the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child and the healthy development of children from 0 to 18 years old were also shared with over 50 facilitators.

On November 3, 2019, an LGBT Child Rights Forum with the participation of more than 300 delegates was organized at the Student Cultural House of Thu Duc National University Village.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the CRC, public celebrations were organized in the walking street, Hoan Kiem lake during 16-17 November with the official ceremony this evening. Proud to be part of the celebration events this weekend in Hanoi, Save the Children and many other organizations are showcasing our work supporting underprivileged children all over Vietnam.

Save the Children in collaboration with relevant authorities of Ho Chi Minh City hosted a series of child forums at district and city levels to create a platform for children to raise their voices and concerns as well as enhance child participation in the decision making process of policies affecting them.
