The World Health Organization (WHO) characterizes child abuse and child maltreatment as "all forms of physical and emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment or commercial or other exploitation, resulting in actual or potential harm to the child's health, survival, development or dignity." In either case of abuse, physical or emotional, the trauma and its effects have a lifelong impact on the child; though the intensity wears off, the negativity persists for long. The ordeal trickles down from the child into other aspects of his/her life like friend circle, family, society, etc. which must be addressed in due time to avoid further damage.  Child abuse prevention  is the need of the hour, specifically in our society, where it is taken for granted that children do not have a voice. We must, therefore, stand as support systems for those who are vulnerable to these atrocities and are less able to comprehend and act upon it.  The child is surroun...

We have heard this about a zillion times – If you teach a boy, you educate an individual; but if you teach a girl, you educate a community? But it falls on deaf ears most of the time. According to the Educational Statistics report released by MHRD in 2018, there is a wider disparity in literacy rates of males and females in rural India than in urban India. In urban India, the difference in literacy rate between males and females is 8.9 %, whereas, for rural India, it is 15.5 %. You can help decrease this rate!

A known evil, an accepted evil, an evil that can churn the society and render it futile is child labour. A child at a tea stall, a child on the street selling flowers, a child at the general store helping you purchase items - we come across these incidents every single day, in every walk of our life, don't we? Then how is it that don't do anything about it?  Has child labour become so acceptable to our society that we're fine with its existence? How does one take action to  stop child labour  ? It may seem like a daunting task, but to abolish it, is the need of the hour. We have to safeguard our future, the future of our nation – its children. First, we need to start by identifying child labour, which mostly gets hidden or unseen. Instead of extracting children out of these hazardous situations, we need to create some strict ground rules for employers all over the country to follow. This will ensure less indulgence on their part to employ children below a minimum em...

Child labour refers to the employment of children below the legal age in any form of work that deprives them of their childhood and poses an obstacle to their education, growth, and development.

While child labour around the world has declined by more than a third in the last 15 years, it remains a severe challenge and barrier to the well-being of children.  According to the child labour information made availa...
