Advocating the Rights of Children (ARC) held an event to celebrate its partnership with Corporate Ambassadors at Kurumba Maldives, today to recognise their support for the rights of the child in the Maldives.
Speaking at the event, ARC’s Managing Director Mr. Muruthala Moosa stated that a culture of human rights can only be promoted, when protection of children’s rights is at the heart of policy formation. In this regard, ARC calls up on politicians to formulate manifestos that promote children’s rights for 2018 presidential election. We also call upon the State to enact the long overdue Child Protection Bill and Juvenile Justice Bill.
