Children from marginalized, excluded, and particularly
vulnerable groups are at the highest risk of being affected by
violence, particularly young children from poor and indigenous
communities. Violence against children is a silent emergency that
must end. Despite years of commitment towards ensuring the
fundamental rights of children through programs and schemes,
violation of child rights remains widespread. Violence against
children and young women is related to the established norms by
society and the lack of protective systems.
Gender-based violence includes Child Early Forced Marriage,
Child Trafficking, Child Labour, sexual violence and protection in
emergencies.
Plan India enables girls and young women to realize their right to be free
from all forms gender-based of violence. This is done by mobilizing and
building their agency to demand their right to be free from all forms of
violence, along with strengthening the capacities of families, communities,
and government duty bearers to respond to the violation of the rights.
