Youth in Bhutan
The current development process in Bhutan challenges social relationships and introduces new paradigms and practices especially appealing to young people. Concerns of alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, prostitution, child labour and petty crime by children and adolescents especially in urban and semi urban regions in Bhutan are increasing. The latest feature film of Dorji Wangchuck, Nazhoen Chharo, shows today’s urban youth issues like crime, violence and drug abuse in a realistic, tough and confronting manner, the first in its kind.
