Training on Child rights and Protection systems- “every five minutes a
child dies from violence, every day, in all country children are abused,
beaten, raped and more…” vimukti Pothnal
Vimukti organized
training on child rights and protection system on 13th, 14th 17th
and 18th of September 2023. Our children in our villages, have very
little access to fundamental requirements such as nutritional food,
healthcare, education, protection, and advocacy. Despite strong
government regulations and policies children in our villages
continue to face challenges in attaining these child rights,
especially those pertaining to education, forced labor and child
marriages. To address these issues and increase awareness amongst
people of the community regarding social protection of the children,
regular workshops were conducted by vimukti staff. These workshops
were conducted in our targeted villages. Workshops are conducted for
school/ dropout children who are aged 12 to 18 years and it was
observed that more than five hundred children had participated in
various workshops. The children were provided with information and
insights regarding the following topics. 1. Fundamental Rights in
our country. 2. Acts related to child marriages, child sexual
exploitation and child rights. 3. Child protection systems such as
ChildLine 1098, CWC and DCPU etc. children were benefited a lot
through the knowledge provided at these workshops. They were taught
on how to approach the child protection bodies when the necessity
arrives. They were also given access to the child protection
systems. Children were assured of getting necessary support,
protection, and freedom, to be an equal part of the society and have
a fearless supportive growth surrounding. More than 600 children
benefited from these workshops.
