| dc.description.abstract | Abstract General treaties on children`s rights came into view only after the carnage and atrocities of the 1930s and 1940s. Over the past decades, however fitful, measurable progress has been made in an effort to create an international rules-based system to protect human rights. The Ethiopian government has also shown interest in this endeavor by adopting different policies and convention on the rights of children. Despite some notable progresses, yet, child fundamental rights have remained a major challenge in Ethiopia and SNNP region. Legislative/policies introduced over the past years have not made significant difference to the lives of the children. Failure of the government to demonstrate its commitment and sensitivity to the concerns of children, gaps and limitations in the information sharing, drafting and implementation of prochildren’s legislatives/policy frameworks and the new civil society law have recognized as major factors for the problems facing children in the region. Therefore, effective advocacy and collaborative engagement for the design, implementation and monitoring of pro-children policies/legislatives have sought to reverse the prevalence of the problems facing children and improve the conditions and enhance their wellbeing in the region. In order for achieving these results, the researcher used purposive sampling in identifying and selecting appropriate organizations and respondents for the study. Nineteen organizations, that is nine regional government bureaus and offices and ten nongovernment organizations (7 local and 3 international nongovernment organizations) were contacted; relevant information/data was collected through Questionnaire and key Informant Interview; data thematically organized and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively based upon logical and descriptive analysis. Moreover, it was also possible to interview four victim children (two boys and two girls) identified with the help of police officer in charge of children`s affairs in the regional police department t | en_US |
