Child Rights Awareness

Raising awareness about child rights and curbing exploitation, violence and abuse of children has been one of our focal points. In this regard we conducted a campaign called Ek Sath Abhiyan in 40 Gram Panchayats where we discussed issues like gender discrimination and violence, violation of child rights, the roles and responsibility of a man as father in providing care and protection to the rights of children, child protection and participation, and the role of men in family planning.

Along with this we also formed 15 child clubs to support child protection structures to adequately protect the children from exploitation and abuse and improve the quality of education to increase the enrolment and retention. We also raised awareness amongst the families and the communities so that they take collective action against child labour and address the exclusion of vulnerable families from service provision and social protection.

Output of the programme

  • Raised awareness amongst 2584 children on child labour.
  • Stopped 42 child labourers.
  • 2055 children were informed about their child rights.
