Protect Children – Spreading the message!
From
years of experience in dealing with problems faced by children, Don Bosco Veedu
Society has formed a team called “Success
for Success” (S4S) to provide awareness and educate child rights to
children, parents, teachers and other stake holders. As providing awareness to all people who deal
with children is the best way to protect and promote child rights, we never lose
a chance for the same.
The S4S
team conducted an interactive session on child
issues for ICDS workers at
Priyadarshini Hall, East Fort on Monday, 09.06.2014. The class started at 10.am
and concluded at 12 pm. More than 170 anganwadi
workers and some teachers attended the training. The participants expressed their
appreciation on the new knowledge they gained. One said: “The interactive
sessions were so lively and informative, that it would surely be useful in
dealing with children’s issues”.
Don
Bosco Veedu Society’s ultimate aim is to protect the children from abusive and
dehumanizing situation and to inspire them towards dignified life. The latest study
of UNICEF shows that in India,
children’s vulnerabilities and exposure to violations of their rights remain widespread
and multiple in nature. The manifestations of these violations are various,
ranging from child labour, child trafficking, to commercial sexual exploitation
and many other forms of violence and abuse. Children especially in the
early childhood are not safe even within the family. They are abused either
physically or sexually. As per 2013-14 reports of CHILDLINE, Thiruvananthapuram
487 children have been protected from abusive situations in this district
alone. This is indeed a cause for concern.
