Bangladesh
Shishu Adhikar Forum is a national network of Non-Government
Organizations (NGOs) actively engaged in child rights
work. It was formed and launched in 1990, following
the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child (CRC) by Bangladesh (31-Aug-1990) and
its coming into force on 2 September 1990. The World
Declaration on the Survival, protection, Development
and Participation and the Plan of Action for its implementation
as adopted by the World Summit on Children in September
1990 and subsequent Declarations (Colombo 1992, Rawalpindi
Resolution 1996) provided the framework for its operational
objectives, which seek to ensure services and rights
to children as provided in the CRC, particularly the
disadvantaged children. Twenty-three NGOs were the
founding members of the Forum. The membership of the
Forum has since grown steadily, rising to 263 in May
2008, and a good number of applications for membership
are under review. Bangladesh Shishu Adhikar Forum
continues to be firmly committed to protect and promote
the rights of the children.
