"The State of Children in Pakistan Report 2024 presents a clear and evidence-based picture of the situation of children across the country. It brings together data from a range of national and international sources to assess how Pakistan is meeting its obligations towards children under the Constitution and international treaties, especially the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The findings are both timely and critical, highlighting where progress has been made and where significant challenges remain."

“As the first national assessment of children’s rights led by the NCRC, this report represents a critical milestone in institutionalising evidence-based monitoring and accountability in Pakistan. It also provides a baseline to track progress over time. Beyond its role as a diagnostic tool, the report serves as a strategic platform for advocacy, policy reform, and targeted action to advance the rights of every child in Pakistan.”
