Over the years a number of laws and policies related to child protection have been created and amended to protect children. However, the lack of understanding and awareness among both the implementers and the beneficiaries are some of the many challenges in the implementation of these laws. As a result, the laws remain on paper, funds are under spent or unspent, and our children are still subjected to different forms of abuse and exploitation on a daily basis.
The Training and Capacity Building division is working assiduously to build the capacities of law enforcement agencies, government departments and civil society organisations. KSCF believes that unless the various functionaries are aware of their roles, functions and powers, care and protection of children cannot be ensured.
Training and capacity building play an important role in this and helps in strengthening knowledge, developing sensitivity, providing a platform to share challenges and concerns, and find solutions. The participants of the training workshops get an opportunity to share good practices, which can be replicated and scaled up.
