Kohima:Nagaland State Commission for Women chairperson Dr Temsula Ao has called to have “the best possible rehabilitation” for victims of child abuse.
Addressing the second day of the state level workshop on promotion, protection and planning on the rights of children in Nagaland in Dimapur on Wednesday, the Padmashree Award winning writer Dr. Temsula wondered whether Nagaland has an “adequate system” in place where police, legal authorities, medical services and village panchayats or even civil societies could work in tandem with child rights organizations to ensure the best of rehabilitation facilities to the victims of child abuse.
This is true of not only regarding child rights but in case of abused women and victims of domestic violence also,” she noted.
Most institutions or commissions, she said, cannot protect or administer justice to victims of abuse, be it children or women. “Because the Commission is merely the house, it is the starting point,” Dr Temsula reasoned, while adding that “this is so because the system itself is faulty.”
The actual purpose could only be realized when all those engaged in protective services come to function together, she felt. “The entire network of protective services has to be coordinated and proper infra-structure provided and trained personnel placed so that the purpose of setting up these institutions is served.”
Dr Temsula pointed out that the fact that the latest winners of Nobel Peace Prize happened to be child rights activists (from Pakistan and India) was in itself a testament to the “acute awareness of the world body for preventive, protective and rehabilitative process to safeguard the rights of the children the world over.”(UNI)
