Dr. Nikhat Shakeel
MNA / Convenor, Parliamentary Caucus on Child Rights (PCCR)
National Assembly, Parliament of Pakistan
As the Convenor of the Parliamentary Caucus on Child Rights, I am deeply committed to advancing the well-being and rights of every child in Pakistan. Our vision is a nation where all children, regardless of their background or circumstances, are free from violence, exploitation, and neglect. We aspire to create a society where every child has equal access to quality education, healthcare, and the opportunity to grow in a safe and nurturing environment that fosters their potential.
The mission of the Parliamentary Caucus on Child Rights is to advocate for the creation and implementation of policies that protect children’s rights and address pressing issues such as child labor, abuse, corporal punishment, and the lack of an equitable juvenile justice system. Through legislative action, collaboration with government agencies, and partnerships with civil society organizations, we work to ensure that children’s rights are respected, their voices are heard, and their futures are safeguarded.
Our children are the future of our nation, and it is our shared responsibility to provide them with the tools, protection, and opportunities they need to thrive. I believe that by working together— government, civil society, and individuals we can build a Pakistan where every child has the chance to grow, dream, and succeed. Together, we can secure a brighter and more just future for all children.
