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.
