(Mark 9:37)

•Poverty - Almost a quarter of the population in Bhutan lives under the poverty line.

•Migrant children - The Bhutanese nationality is very difficult to acquire, as it requires the two parents to be Bhutanese. Thus, many children that are born and live in Bhutan are not nationals.

•The right to education - more than one in ten children are not educated.

•AIDS - The number of people infected with HIV in Bhutan is increasing.

•Child Labour - close to one out of every five children are required to work to support their families in Bhutan.

•Sexual exploitation - Sexual exploitation of children is equally very alarming in this country.

•Violence against children - Physical abusive punishment is not explicitly restricted in Bhutan. Thus, many children are already victims of poor treatment in the context of family life as well as in school.
