    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2018-09-07) Marwaha, Puja

    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-09-01) Marwaha, Puja
    For the past five months, our screens have been flooded with distressing imagery of one catastrophe after another: From the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable communities, to cyclones in West Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. From locust attacks in the central and northwestern plains, to the floods in Assam and Bihar. All of these have had disastrous effects on the Indian economy—millions in the country lost their jobs or were forced to take pay cuts, economic activity in rural India came to a halt, and migrants were forced to walk hundreds of kilometres back home.

It is time to put child protection at the centre stage and adequately invest for preventing crime against children.
