There was good news for children on Monday as the Child Rights Legal
Centre (CRLC) launched its first-ever online TV on Child Rights —
childrights.tv —produced by the Centre for Creative Media.
The first-ever online TV will provide viewers exclusive access to
selected quality productions and a platform for quick learning,
sharing and discussing child rights issues in Pakistan. The Child
Rights Centre for Creative Media is the media arm of the CRLC
(www.crlc.info).

The Centre for Creative Media has also started a weekly series of
‘Meet the Expert’. In this programme Child Rights experts will share
their expertise and knowledge on the problems facing children in
Pakistan. More than 70 productions including documentaries, songs, TV-
shows, messages and animations are available on Child Rights TV web-
portal on subjects such as child labour, health, education, juvenile
justice, kidnapping, child participation, street children,
discrimination, child trafficking, sexual abuse, birth registration,
etc. The portal will be updated every week, for the convenience of the
readers-viewers.

“This is an exclusive portal dedicated to child rights issues in
Pakistan. One of the objectives of this portal is to provide viewers
and activists an easy access and quality productions on child rights.
We would also like to promote the tremendous work done by our media
channels and NGOs.” shared Kashif Mirza, programme head of the Centre
for Creative Media.

This is CRLC’s second initiative after the successful launch of Child
Rights Desk-Pakistan in March 2010, a web-based portal which carries
child rights news and developments, updated on daily basis and
receives 400 to 500 daily hits. The CRLC has also compiled Case-Laws
on child rights laws, and is available on Child Rights Legal Centre
website at crlc.info. Case-laws hold great importance in Pakistan’s
judicial system, and this compilation will be useful for law students,
legal practitioners and institutions working on legal reforms and
cases related to children.

We remain committed to facilitate the implementation of the Convention
on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Pakistan and to play our role in
transforming national legal system in line with international law and
standards on child rights” shared CRLC Executive Director Qindeel
Shujaat.
