Child Rights & Child Safety
The Community Vigilance against Child Sexual Abuse
(The Rally was Organised to bring attention to the issue of child sexual abuse)
Children’s Collectives (CCs)
(A voluntary association of children from every village)
Children assemble not only to discuss and debate issues that directly affect them but take action at their level. They attend child rights training, organise campaigns, attend Gram Sabha meetings and petition civic authorities. They acquire civic-political self.
Parent Collectives (PCs)
(Forum of parents from every community)
“Parents are the first level providers of child safety and defenders of child rights. We build their capacity for positive child rearing and effective protection that expands ‘child centred space’ at home.”
Child Rights Monitoring Committee (CRMCs)
(A voluntary association of community elders, parents and youth from every community)
“We build the capacity of the committee for community level monitoring of violation of child rights, intervention and follow up.”
Child Rights and Child Safeguarding Training
(For staff and facilitators)
“Greater synergy for child rights and child safeguarding implementation.”
Child Rights and Child Safeguarding Audit
(By both internal and external auditors)
“We strive to maintain the highest standards in ensuring child rights and child protection.”
