10 facts you must know about child labour in India on Anti Child Labour Day
(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2018-06) Moitra, Soha
We pass by so many children indulging in some work or the other every day. The sight has been growing on us slowly but surely to the extent that we have accepted the situation as ‘normal’ in India. Some of us who want to justify it come up with statements like “Poverty is the reason they are into labour”, or “They are only helping their parents in bringing in a stable income”.

Our society often confuses adolescents as 'adults' and unfortunately pushes them into a world of work which they are not prepared for.

(CRY - Child Rights & You, 2017-04-11) Rabadi, Kreeanne

“Adults Don’t Seem To Understand How Deadly The Virus Is, So We Decided To Make Them See”
(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-05-05) Marwaha, Puja
Perturbed at how irresponsibly some adults are behaving by not taking this COVID-19 outbreak seriously, children at a Kolkata slum have come up with a series of posters with powerful messages, with a hope to make it a safer and healthier society.
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”.
Are School Spaces Really Safe for Our Children
(CRY - Child Rights & You, 2018-10-07) Mahara, Priti

Back to school: An encouraging move, but need to tread with caution
(Down To Earth, 2021-08-26) Marwaha, Puja

Battling periods and access to menstrual hygiene in times of COVID-19
(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-07-14) Marwaha, Puja
With more than 40 percent of Indian women & adolescent girls in the age group of 15-24 years not familiar with safe and hygienic methods of menstrual practices, there should be more focussed dialogue on the subject, especially on the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products during the lockdown.
Break the stranglehold of starvation, free the children
(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2018-12-10) Moitra, Soha
The death of three sisters due to starvation shook Delhi last month. Mansi, 8, Paro, 5, and Sukho, 2, were found unconscious in a pool of vomit. They were brought dead to hospital and the post mortem revealed that they died of starvation. It is appalling that the capital city has been struggling to tackle malnutrition among children despite the many endeavours by the government. According to NFHS 4 (National Family Health Survey), over 62 per cent children are anaemic in urban Delhi and that speaks volumes about the state of affairs regarding child health.
Breastfeeding in times of COVID-19: Will new-born’s miss out on vital nutrition
(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-08-05) Marwaha, Puja
The road to motherhood amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic was arduous for Soni Devi, 22, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra. She became a mother for the first time on April 30, 2020. There was no ambulance service to take Soni to the healthcare centre when she went into labour amid the countrywide lockdown. After a couple of hours, as her family was preparing for the possibility of a home delivery, a grass roots level local non-profit partner of Child Rights and You (CRY) — Sonbhadra Vikas Samiti (SVS) — intervened. A few frantic phone calls later, a transport arrived.
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.

(Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-01-31) Marwaha, Puja
The annual Union budget piques our attention not just because it’s the biggest financial event of the year, making front page headlines all over. It means much more than a bunch of numbers in thousands and crores of rupees, being the blueprint of the nation’s planning and preparedness for the future.
Budget expectations
(CRY - Child Rights & You, 2017-01-30) Ganotra, Komal
In absence of substantial financial backing, achieving quality education appears to be distant dream “The destiny of India is now being shaped in her classrooms,” declared the Education Commission in 1964-66. Never has this statement been more applicable than it is today. India has now taken over China as the largest primary education system in the world
