dc.description.abstractChild care institution has both positive and negative effects on children. Children living in child care institutions have basic rights that need to be fulfilled, protected and respected. The purpose of this study was to assess children rights in child care institution in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Qualitative approach was followed to gather essential information. Specifically, data were collected using IDIs, KIIs, FGD and observation methods. A total of 54 respondents have participated in this study. Data gathered with tape recorded, transcribed and coded manually within the themes of the data. The finding shows that children’s basic needs were fulfilled and social services were provided well in all the institution. However, some institution were short of fulfilling children’s right to fully enjoy their psychosocial needs. It was also shown that as compared to caregivers, children had a high level of understanding about their rights. Therefore, the study suggest that the institutions should provide trainings for children and care givers about children right and all institutions should improve to fulfill the psychosocial needs of children.
