AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSON: Jeevika Development Society's Howrah team recently organized an impactful awareness program at Pachla Azeem Moazzam High School on the occasion of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. The team has been consistently working towards creating awareness about Child Rights, with a particular focus on combating issues like Child Marriage and Child Trafficking. The program aimed to educate students about the importance of protecting children's rights and the dangers associated with child marriage and trafficking. Through interactive sessions and informative presentations, the team emphasized the need for collective efforts to eradicate these harmful practices from society.
Jeevika on 26th May 2023, undertook a significant awareness campaign in the Panchla Block under the Howrah district with the objective of preventing child marriage. This initiative was supported by the esteemed Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation and aims to create a "Child Marriage Free India". The campaign took place at Taj Mahal Gram Vikas Kendra & Taj Mahal Library, in Khaskhamar. This event provided a platform for community engagement and education on the harmful impact of early marriages on children's lives. Through this collaborative effort, Jeevika sought to empower communities in Howrah district to take collective action towards eradicating child marriage. By spreading knowledge and promoting dialogue around this issue, they aimed to create an environment where every child can grow up free from the shackles of early marriages.
