Vaikai – tai žmonijos ateitis, mūsų džiaugsmas ir pasididžiavimas. Atrodo, kad kiekvienam vaikelis turėtų būti didžiausiu turtu, laime ir paguoda. Deja, reali situacija kitokia. Vaikai dabar mušami, marinami badu, paliekami miške, šaltyje, imami įkaitais, išnaudojami seksualiai. Smurtas gali būti apgalvotas veiksmas norint išnaudoti ar nubausti arba tiesiog impulsyvi susierzinusio tėvo, mokytojo ar stipresnio vaiko reakcija. Bet kuriuo atveju toks smurtas prieš vaikus pažeidžia pagrindinius žmogaus teisių principus: pagarbą žmogaus orumui ir teisę į fizinį neliečiamumą. Vaiko teisių įgyvendinimo požiūriu ypač svarbus mokyklos vaidmuo. Mokykla daug gali prisidėti ne tik prie dorinio vaikų auklėjimo, jų elgesio humanizavimo, bet ir prie tėvų sąmoningumo ugdymo, nepakantos smurtui, nesmurtinių drausminimo būdų bei vaiko teisių propagavimo. Tačiau siekiant šių tikslų visų pirma būtina įdiegti vaiko teises pačiose mokyklose. Mokslinių tyrimų pagrindu galima teigti, jog Lietuvos mokyklose dar negarantuojama vaiko teisių apsauga. Taigi viena iš plintančių prievartos formų yra priekabiavimas. Priekabiavimas – tai problema, kuriai skiriamas ypatingas dėmesys visame pasaulyje ir tik pastaruoju metu pradedama nagrinėti moksliškai ir Lietuvoje. Šio magistrinio darbo tikslas – atskleisti vaikų tarpusavio priekabiavimo ypatumus mokykloje, išsiaiškinant mokyklos vadovo vaidmenį problemos sprendime. Uždaviniai : 1. apibūdinti priekabiavimą kaip reiškinį; 2. atskleisti pagrindines... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Children are the future of the mankind, our delight and pride. It seems that every child should be the greatest treasure, happiness and comfort. However, the real situation is different. Children are being beaten, starved, left in the forest or cold, taken hostage or used sexually. Violence can be a deliberate action on purpose to use or punish, or simply an impulsive reaction of a parent, teacher or a stronger child. In any case, such violence against children violates the main principals of human rights: respect to human dignity and the right to physical immunity. From the point of view of the implementation of children rights, the role of the school is extremely important. The school can contribute a lot not only to the moral upbringing of children and humanization of their behaviour but also to the education of the consciousness of parents, intolerance to violence, nonviolent ways of discipline and the propagation of the protection of children rights. However, with a view to these aims, first of all it is essential to introduce the children rights into schools themselves. On the ground of scientific research it is possible to state that the protection of children rights is not guaranteed in Lithuanian schools. So, one of pervasive forms of violence is molestation. Molestation is the problem that receives special attention all around the world and only recently it has begun to be dealt with scientifically in Lithuania. The aim of this Master’s thesis is to reveal the... [to full text]
