The CRC directs states to develop local services to prevent children being separated from their families. The institutionalization of children should only be used as a last resort. Nepal has thousands of institutionalized children. Gatekeeping is a tool in the diversion of child separation. It also helps in the prevention of child trafficking especially during sudden calamities. Nepal is one of the most prone countries in the world to the effects of climate change there is an urgent need for child protection strategies.
