Vision and Mission Statement
The Child Rights Clinic (“Clinic”) is an advocacy and policy initiative at Jindal Global Law School. The Clinic’s core aim is to work with the community, activists and stakeholders working in the realm of children’s rights both nationally and internationally to promote rights of all children using a trauma informed and child rights approach. The Clinic’s work focuses on both children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with the law.
Objectives
One of the key objectives of the Clinic is to work with students at the law school to promote learning outside the classroom by connecting them to the ground reality. Students are heavily involved in the policy and advocacy work of the Clinic currently via research. The Clinic aims to also train students for legal internships with organisations working in the field for better learning outcomes.
Other core objectives of the Clinic include research on child rights issues to help bridge the gap in the Indian child rights discourse, training students and stakeholders in approaching children’s rights using a trauma informed and child rights approach and creating legal awareness material to enable better access to information and resources for the community. The Clinic relies heavily on working in collaboration with and supporting the work of national children’s rights bodies, community based organisations and NGO’s to ensure that the work is more impactful and can influence policy. The Clinic hopes to introduce child rights courses across law schools and create a strong network of child rights clinics across India in the future.
