    CRY in Action 2013 - 2014
    (2014) Child Rights & You, CRY
    Before every election, politicians debate key issues that the country is concerned about inflation, corruption, and many more. One significant issue that both citizens and politicians should take seriously but often don't, is the issue of child rights. Every day, millions of Indian children are denied their fundamental rights to education, healthcare and safety. And although the country’s youth is critical to our present and future, not enough action is taken to improve this situation.

    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2016) Child Rights & You, CRY
    Children constitute over a third of India’s population of a 1.21 billion and yet they are only perceived as the ‘future generation’ of economically contributing adults and not as citizens of today. The CRY study, ‘Status Report on Child Rights in India: An Overview of the Past Decade’ shows a very dismal situation where current issues concerning children are highlighted.

    CRY recognises volunteerism as an expression of citizen participation that ranges from acts of giving to demanding change. We offer a platform for citizens with diverse interests, skills and knowledge to engage in action that have direct and indirect impact on child rights. The role of Volunteer Action involves reaching out to the public, recruiting them as volunteers and facilitating initiatives by offering innovative and diverse volunteer engagement options. In 2014-15, CRY worked with over 3,000 volunteers spread across 20 cities and had 270 Internship placements within CRY.
