Abstract:
The study attempts to understand the
understanding regarding Human Rights knowledge among youths of Nepal,
who are basically students of Business, Science, Arts or something apart
from Law. Human Rights have been regarded as one of the essential
requirement in today's era.
However, how do youths perceive it? The
study attempts to figure this out. Compiling the views of students, the
analysis can be seen. The study reveals that Human Rights is not
properly understood by young peoples in Nepal. Youths of Nepal seems to
be concerned only about their subject matter, that their teachers and
families guide them. They don't regard the knowledge of Human Rights as
the thing that they must know. During the study, it was found that
youths don't know what UDHR is all about. They even regarded a criminal
case Human Rights violation issue. The study also potrays the necessity
of Human Rights education from very grass root level in order to build a
peaceful society and country.
For developing
countries like Nepal, where there is political unrest, and political
change going on, Human Rights has to be primary concern. There were lot
of Human Rights violation cases here back during the ten years of civil
war, and today, when the war is over. Peoples have to know what is right
and what is wrong in this clock, however they are away from the basic
knowledge hereby. Ultimately, the basic idea of Human Rights was found
to be lagging among the youths in Nepal. This idea had to be kept into
their mind during their early schooling itself; however the curriculum
design was found to be a step behind in this regard. There exists the
subject ‘Social Studies’, however, these things are found to be ignored
there by. A separate chapter of Human Rights seems to be necessity, to
at least make the young generation aware of what Human Rights actually
is.
