Plan India Safety for Girls and Child Protection
                     Plan India Safety for Girls and Child Protection
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.
