The essence of this project has been to involve the community in every stage of the program. In the present project 85% of the stakeholders, PRIs and other duty-bears have been sensitized and awakened on the issue to such an extent that they are now ready to combat it by taking effective actions in an organized manner.
Some parents are now thinking of keeping their children at home and engaging them in some kind of alternative income generation activity.
Along with the parents, the some children, especially the girls have become motivated to stay at home rather than go outside to work.
Some stakeholders(parents, Teachers, Club members, ICDS workers, PRI members, Health workers, Govt. officials) are playing a vital role in terms of building awareness and creating public opinion, giving effort in enforcing the child labour, Child Trafficking, Child marriage, Child abuse ban.
We saw many positive changes:
•CPC & Children group members monitoring everyday.
•CPC & Children groups members coordinating with all stake holders & others children groups & CPC’s regularly.
•CPC & Children groups maintaining their records (Meeting Resolution, Drop out & missing children Register, etc.)
•Govt. officials are coming for exposure visit.
•ICDS workers discussing on Child Trafficking, Child Abuse, etc. in every meeting.
• PRI members discussing their every monthly meeting on Child protection issues.
•PRI members discussing their Gram Sansad meeting on Child Protection Issues.
•Strong Children's groups are trying to form new children groups in out of our direct intervention area (for replicable model).
•Strong CPCs are trying to form new CPCs in out of our direct intervention area (for replicable model)
Key Learning’s:
•Children are the best source for providing information regarding the trafficked children. Hence stress should be laid on involving them more in the process of tracing potential child trafficking.
