ADVOCACY

Vidiyal advocates for Child Rights in every sphere of the society. Creative means are used to take the message of Child Rights to masses. Advocacy campaigns are designed on specific themes to call the attention and to create public opinion on our advocacy agenda. Cycle rallies, children’s human chain, rallies, media advocacy, signature campaigns, child to child campaigns and public meetings are some of the methodologies used for promoting Child Rights. Observances of international days were used as strategic days to call the attention of various stakeholders to join hands in the promotion and protection of Child Rights.

We do join hands with other orgnaisations including the government on specific advocacy agendas which are common to our interests in protecting the rights of children, which brings synergy to the initiative.
