THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala State Commission For Protection Of Child Rights Chairperson P Suresh has said that he would approach the Supreme Court against the high court order that children should be excluded from Women’s wall.

He said the court order is breach of international child rights laws and the rights guaranteed by the constitution to children. “We’ll approach the Supreme Court after seeking advice from law experts,” he said.

“As per article 19 of the Constitution all citizens have the right to organise and express their opinion. Article 21 guarantees the right to live with personal freedom. As per 12 Annexure Section 2 of international child rights law, children’s opinion should be sought on any court or administrative action that would affect them. But the court had not sought the opinion of State Child Rights Commission in this regard,” he said.

Suresh said that the Constitution specified that parents have the responsibility to protect renaissance values and give proper orientation to their children to keep off communal extremism and killer games like Blue Whale that are fast spreading in society.

“Hence the high court order asking organisers of Women’s Wall to exclude children from the event is violation of their rights,” Suresh added.
