The Kathmandu School of Law (KSL) established in December 2007 the Child Rights Research and Resource Center (KSL Child Rights Center) in order to strengthen research and sharing of information on the issues of child rights at national as well as regional levels. The primary objective of the Center is to build a competent rights regime in Nepal (and South Asians region) by establishing a capable institution to generate human and intellectual resources pertaining to child rights, development and psychology.

The Center is the outcome of the commitment of different like-minded institutions to work as joint venture to protect and promote child rights and access to justice. Save the Children Norway, Save the Children Sweden, UNICEF, Tdh Nepal, CeLRRd deserves credit in initiating this important mission. Their moral, financial and logistic support boosted KSL's strength in initiating this challenging yet benign mission.

With the aim of building a competent rights regime in Nepal and the South Asian Region by establishing a capable institution to generate human and intellectual resources pertaining to child rights, development and psychology, Kathmandu School of law has established a Child Rights Research and Resource Center (KSL Child Rights Center) as a permanent body. This institution will provide services in the region and will work as a 'regional information clearing house’ as well as an institution to academically and professionally build capacity of child rights professionals, workers, researchers, activists and law enforcement agents.

Child rights encompass multiple aspects and problems of children and hence need a holistic and multi-dimensional approach to address the problems. Meanwhile, CRC has been established to address the problems which pose hindrances in safeguarding the rights of the child in Nepal as well as other countries in the region.

The Center is making headway for complete development of information system, library and technology including development of human resource. The center is providing an opportunity for the motivated students to learn and work at the same time. Currently, three students are working at the center as paid interns.

Child rights encompass multiple aspects and problems of children and hence need a holistic and multi-dimensional approach to address the problems.
