Different activities were held for the week-long World Children’s Day Celebrations like #Goblue, #KidsTakeOver and ‘Pandemic classroom’ intended to raise awareness on issues like learning loss in children, violence against children and child rights.
The Department of Women and Child Development, Chhattisgarh, and UNICEF organized the events which concluded on Saturday (November 20 - World Children’s Day).
Job Zachariah, Chief of UNICEF, Chhattisgarh, said violence against children threatens not only their survival and health but also their emotional well-being.
Violence against children is widespread and pervasive and remains a harsh reality for millions in India, Zachariah said.
