🌱 Empowering Tribal Communities to Champion Child Rights πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸ›‘

Under Project SURAKHYA, a series of interactive experience-sharing and capacity-building sessions were conducted with Majhihadams and village dignitaries across the tribal-dominated regions of Kuliana and Bangiriposi Blocks in Mayurbhanj district.

Representatives from 132 villages across 9 Gram Panchayats came together to reflect on child protection challenges within their communities and exchange indigenous knowledge, experiences, and local solutions. The sessions also strengthened their understanding of child rights and equipped them with the skills and confidence to act as community advocates, frontline protectors, and catalysts for positive change.

By engaging respected traditional leaders and village influencers, the initiative seeks to build a stronger community-based child protection system where every child is valued, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.

πŸ›‘οΈ Strengthening Community Leadership for Child Protection under Project SURAKHYA 🀝

As part of Project SURAKHYA, a series of experience-sharing and capacity-building sessions were organized with Majhihadams and village dignitaries across Kuliana and Bangiriposi Blocks of Mayurbhanj district, predominantly inhabited by tribal communities.

The sessions provided a valuable platform for community leaders to share local experiences, discuss child protection concerns, and explore community-driven solutions to safeguard the rights and well-being of children. The participants were further equipped through capacity-building sessions to strengthen their role as frontline workers and change agents in preventing violence, abuse, exploitation, neglect, and other risks affecting children.

Conducted across 9 Gram Panchayats, the initiative brought together village dignitaries from 132 villages, fostering collective responsibility and strengthening grassroots child protection mechanisms within tribal communities.

🌟 When community leaders are empowered, children are better protected. Together, we are building safer, more inclusive, and child-friendly communities where every child can grow with dignity, protection, and opportunity.
