    DIGNITY MARCH TO END SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN : Dignity March is a platform for the survivors to tell their stories in their own voice, to represent their own narratives. It is a call to end the culture of shame and fear, to encourage others to speak up, and demand zero tolerance for sexual violence in our society. It is to hold society and the state accountable toward punitive action against the perpetrator, through effective implementation of legal guidelines, and ensuring rehabilitation facilities for survivors.On 24th January, the stop of this march was Chanakya National Law University of Patna. The event was organized by ‘Rastriya Garima Abhiyan’ in collaboration with ‘Child Rights Centre, CNLU’ and Human Liberty Network.

    The event was ornamented with the presence of Hon’ble Justice Smt. Mridula Mishra (Rtd, Patna High Court) Vice Chancellor, CNLU and Sri M.P. Srivastava, (Retd. District Judge) Registrar, CNLU. The most remarkable presence was of Mrs. Bhanwari Devi, who is a gang rape survivor and her complaint in that case laid the foundations of Vishakha guidelines to deal with sexual harassment at workplace. The event was also graced with the presence of Mr. Asif Shaikh, convenor of the dignity march and Mr. P.K. Sharma, State convenor of the Human Liberty Network. The event provided a stage to the survivors of sexual assault to share their experiences, problems and fight for justice. Hon’ble Justice Mridula Mishra became emotional after hearing the stories of the survivors and said that the CNLU campus was looking like a small India. Registrar Sri M.P. Srivastava put out the irony of the Indian society. He said, on one hand we worship goddesses and on the other, in the same society, women are subjected to sexual violence and ill treatment.

    Dissemination workshop on Global Report 2017 : Ending Violence in Childhood Know violence in Childhood’, an independent global learning initiative has done an extremely detailed research in the issue of childhood violence, the outcome of which is the ‘Ending Violence in Childhood: Global Report 2017’. The report delved into different aspects of childhood violence and brought out very enriching information. According to the report, there is no safe place for children; they face violence at home, at schools and at public places in wider communi-ties.Different forms of violence such as corporal punishment, bullying, physical fights, physical and sexual violence against adolescent girls and child homicide are perpetrated against children. Most common out of these are corporal punishment, which usually happens at home within in-ter-familial relations, because violence is seen as a way to discipline the child.

    The report brings out various similar aspects relating to the issue and thus is really important and helpful in our struggle for the cause of enforcement of child rights. A Dissemination Workshop for the Report ‘Ending Violence in Childhood: Global Report 2017, was organized by Child Rights Centre, CRC at CNLU on 9th January, 2019. The event was chaired by Hon’ble Justice Smt. Mridula Mishra (Rtd, Patna High Court) Vice Chancellor, CNLU. The event was also graced with the presence of Hon’ble Mr. Justice Abhijit Sinha (Chairman, Bihar State Law Commission ), Sri Sunil Dutt Mishra (Member Secretary, Bihar State Legal Services Authority), Shri Manoranjan Prasad Srivastava (Retd. District Judge), Registrar, CNLU. Various other distinguished guests from ‘Know Violence in Childhood’, and UNICEF were present. Dr. Manisha Priyam, Policy Advisory body of MHRD, Govt. of India, was also present for the workshop.

    The Workshop was introduced and conducted by Ms. Sneha, Coordinator of Child Rights Centre, CNLU. She talked about how childhood violence can hamper the growth of a child and in many cases can leave them devastated.

    Inauguration of Child Rights Centre by Hon’ble Speaker of Bihar Vidhan Sabha Vijay Kumar Chowdhary on the World Children’s Day Proposed to be a specialized research centre to assist the different stakeholders in protection and development of child rights, Child Rights Centre (CRC) was inaugurated on 20th November, 2018 by Shri Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, speaker of Bihar Legislative Assembly. The event was graced with the presence of Hon’ble Justice Smt. Mridula Mishra (Rtd, Patna High Court) Vice Chancellor, CNLU, Shri Manoranjan Prasad Srivastava (Rtd. District Judge), Registrar, CNLU, and many dignitaries from UNICEF.At the occasion of Inauguration, Shri Vijay Chaudhary asked the concerned departments and civil society organisations to identify the basic requirements of children and prepare a comprehensive plan for safeguarding their rights. He further said, �In several cases, the protectors of children’s right become their predators for serving their own vested interest. Intellectuals must remain vigilant against people or organizations playing with the lives of the innocent children.� Keeping in line with what Shri Vijay Chaudhary said, CRC is a research centre striving for identification of child right issues and development of comprehensive child right laws. In a time when the state has been shaken by the developments of the Muzaffarpur Shelter home case, it is felt that there is need of more vigilance to protect the cause of the children. The centre will act as a protector of the constitutional rights of the children. The centre is determined to engage with child rights from multidisciplinary perspective and to provide integrated technical support to different layers of institutional governance at local, state and national level for protection of child rights.
