The Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) is a Pakistani independent non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting the rights of children.

Mission

SPARC was established as an advocacy group for children’s rights.[1] Initially focused on promoting and protecting breastfeeding, it has expanded to child labour, juvenile justice, education and violence against children.[1] It has held "children's parliaments"[1][2] and worked to end corporal punishment in Pakistani schools.[3][4][5]

Operations

SPARC was officially established on December 17, 1992, in Islamabad, Pakistan.[6] SPARC's governing body is run by a board of directors.[6] While the headquarters is located in Islamabad, it has offices in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta, Hyderabad, Multan and Nowshera.[6] 54 Child Rights Committees consisting of local activists operate at the district level.[6]

SPARC has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and the United Nations Department of Public Information.[6] It is a partner of Defence for Children International.[6] In 2003, SPARC received the United Nations Recognition Award for highlighting the plight of children and promoting the rights of children in Pakistan.[6] In 2006, SPARC received USAID certification.[6]

SPARC is a member of the Pakistan National Alliance[7] and the International Baby Food Action Network.[8]

Successes

The Protection of Breastfeeding and Young Child Nutrition Ordinance, drafted by founding SPARC member Anees Jillani, was signed in October 2002 and came into force in 2010.[9][10] It superseded the National Infant Feeding Board Rules of 2004.[11] The ordinance has also been adopted by Gilgit-Baltistan, which has special status under a Presidential Order.[12]
