Child Workers in Nepal (CWIN) is a major NGO, (non-governmental organization), working as an advocate for children’s rights, and supporting child labourers, street children, children being exploited sexually, and child victims of violence. Its objective is to protect the rights of the child in Nepal. It was established in 1987, when an informal group of students at Tribhuvan University, taking a lead from Child Workers in Asia (CWA), investigated the conditions of street children in Kathmandu. It sees itself as a watchdog in the field of child rights in Nepal, acting as a voice for disadvantaged and exploited children, through lobbying, campaigning and pressurising the government to protect and promote children`s rights, and to end exploitation, abuse and discrimination against children.
