United Nations (UN) member states have commended
Kazakhstan’s reforms in children's rights protection. Kazakhstan continues to
implement large-scale legislative and strategic measures to safeguard
children's rights, following the directives of the Head of State. These efforts
aim to create an effective and comprehensive system for protecting the rights
of the most vulnerable groups in society, in line with international standards.
Last year, six key laws were adopted in the field of child protection. A
central provision of these laws is the introduction of stricter penalties for
all forms of violence against children. Additionally, the status of the
Children’s Rights Commissioner has been elevated, with representatives now
present in every region of the country. A mentorship system has also been
introduced, and the staff of child welfare authorities has been expanded.
Experts emphasize that ensuring children’s well-being and safety is a top
priority of state policy.
«Thus, the measures implemented by the state are aimed at
creating the most favorable conditions for children’s growth and development,
ensuring their protection, support, and opportunities for quality education and
social integration. These efforts lay the foundation for a safe and happy
childhood for every young citizen of our country,» said Yedil Ospan, Kazakh
Vice Minister of Education.
