Project Sachet is the name of our project where we plan to conduct a legal literacy
program in a secondary level school, Bhakti International Academy located in
Hattigauda of Kathmandu district, students there especially teenagers are curious
about the legal aspects of basic rights in their daily life.
Although few aspects of fundamental rights and child rights are incorporated in their
curriculum, children being a vulnerable and sensitive group of society lack access to
justice and remedial measures when it comes to the issue of harassment, bullying,
child sexual abuse, and domestic violence. A crimeless society is more than a distant
dream, but we as law students can work towards improving the legal consciousness
and preventing illegal and criminal behavior among teenagers. Teenagers, in the
physiological and psychological growth stage, are easily influenced by numerous
socially negative beliefs and behaviors and thus, we are strongly committed to the
cause. There is no doubt Nepal has a strong institutional and legal system for
rendering justice when it comes to child rights but children who are more prone to
being victims of numerous crimes are unknown about the institutions where they can seek justice. Thus, we plan to be a bridge between justice and potential victims. We have planned this project with a long-term view of improving the legal education of juveniles to enhance the nation's overall quality, resulting in impacting a whole new generation. The word "Sachet" itself has its Nepali meaning which means "alert" or"aware". To conduct this project, we aspire to coordinate with child rights
organizations, helpline providers, cyber bureau, human rights advocates, and youth.
We are also starting the policy research, fundraising programs, calls for volunteers, in order to meet our financial and technical expenses for the project.
