    Anti-trafficking bill
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2018-08-09) Mahara, Priti
    It is imperative to avoid the institutionalisation of children and instead, strive to restore them to a family. Children accounted for 59% of all trafficking cases registered in 2016, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. The Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018–passed by the Lok Sabha on Thursday – hence addresses, by the government’s definition, “one of the most pervasive yet invisible crimes” affecting the country’s “most vulnerable persons, especially children and women”.

    Breastfeeding is NOT Home Chore A Wake-Up Call that Mindsets Need to Change
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2018-12-15) Mahara, Priti
    To just say that the social attitude towards breastfeeding needs to change is an understatement. What is the most natural life process between a mother and an infant, not to mention the nutritional importance of it, is still met with prejudice and public discomfort. It is time to look beyond.

    Can education incentive schemes give wings to India’s girls?
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2019-09-02) Mahara, Priti
    A common belief that many of us have is that children usually do not like going to school. However, in reality, ours is a country where circumstances often trump many children’s desire to learn and their love for school. And in India, the situation is quite averse for the girls.

    Can India be ‘atmanirbhar’ by cutting budget for children
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2021-02-12) Mahara, Priti
    The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has dealt a serious blow to the Indian economy. The economic slowdown has aggravated poverty, disrupted public provisioning for children’s welfare, exacerbated existing gaps in availability, access and utilisation of services. It has multiplied challenges for children from marginalised communities.

    Children are not safe in school: Here’s what we need to do
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2018-10-07) Mahara, Priti
    Two recent incidents of child rape within school premises — one in Phulwari Sharif in Patna last week and the other in Chhapra district in Bihar just two months ago — bring back exactly the same sinking feeling we had experienced a few months ago, when the gangrape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua shook the very core of the Indian psyche.

    Giving back
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2018-12-05) Mahara, Priti
    On International Volunteer Day, let’s salute change-makers, who are working to create a lasting impact and transform the lives of India’s underprivileged children. Living in a metropolitan city is rewarding in many ways, and often ensures a better quality of life. Whether it is access to education, lucrative careers, or better earnings, an urban setup promises opportunities galore. However, this constant race to overtake our peers and our obsession with materialistic pleasures often creates an emotional void

    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2019-08-12) Mahara, Priti
    RTE: Its implications on delivery of education, therefore, meant that if a child was unable to receive quality education, it would no longer remain a gap in a scheme, but a violation of her fundamental rights.

    In Shattered Post-Lockdown Economy, Govt Must Keep a Strict Eye on Child Labour
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-06-16) Mahara, Priti; Sapkal, Rahul
    According to estimates by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the world economy is projected to shrink by 3.2% this year. The estimates also state that GDP in developed countries is likely to shrink by five percent, while that of developing countries will contract by around 0.7% in 2020. Massive job losses will push an additional 34.3 million people into extreme poverty by the end of this year. Compared to developed countries, poverty, lack of access to employment opportunities and weak social security systems have induced large-scale distress in developing countries like India.

    Is child protection a priority in the public budget?
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2019-07-22) Mahara, Priti
    Well-designed interventions for prevention, protection, response & rehabilitation can help India reach the ideal of a comprehensive protective environment for children. India’s ability to realise and help children reach their full potential is dependent on the nation’s ability to fulfil its commitments to children. The Constitution of India recognises the inherent vulnerabilities in children through Article 39-F. The Article mandates the state to ensure that “children are given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected against exploitation and against moral and material abandonment.”
