We believe in existing constitutional provisions to enforce the fundamental rights of children. But we also advocate for new laws and amendment in the existing ones, whenever we find gaps in the legislation and governance.
Legal Actions
Our legal interventions include filing Public Interest Litigations (PILs) for mobilizing support towards the issue of child protection. We have filed a number of writ petitions over the last few decades and are behind some of the landmark judgments made by Supreme Court on the protection child rights. This has led to significant policy changes helping us to create a safe and friendly environment for children in the country. We started All India Legal Aid Services on Child Rights (AILASCR) in 2009 with an aim to ensure access to justice in cases of crimes against children. It was established in collaboration with National Legal Services Authority and Delhi State Legal Services Authority.
