Children Workshop to prepare Child Manifesto
Three consecutive workshops were held with children aged between 10-14 years to prepare a Child manifesto for upcoming elections. Children identified several problems in their community and came up with probable solutions as follows:
All children should go to school
Every child should have proper space to stay
There should be no child marriage in my locality till the age of 18
I want all school teachers should come to school regularly and take classes
In our area children are getting addicted of Gutkha , cigarettes etc. A place like this should not be there in our area
Everyone should be treated equally
Parents should give us time to play, it is also very important for us.
There’s a space in our area where adults sit and drinks alcohol, they beat us and often they do bad touch to the girls. A place like this should not be there in our area
I was not allowed to participate in the school program due to my short height. Teachers should not treat us like this.
