Change is deliberate. Change is not easy. Slowly but surely, the wheels of change start turning, revealing the first glimpse of a new order. And of outcomes most desired. It’s time to be glad for sure. But it’s also time for us to roll up our sleeves and redouble our efforts to ensure that change is sustained. Sending a large number of children to schools is not enough; we need to ensure that they stay there and nurture a love for learning. Supporting the creation of women’s groups is not enough; we need to help them build the confidence they need to take decisions for themselves. Rescuing children from sweatshops is not enough; we need to work diligently with law and policy makers to abolish child labour as a whole. So, until a few years ago, we defined our goals as transforming children’s lives in India, and we took big steps toward creating an actionable difference. This year however, we continued to work towards strengthening the foundation on which changes can be sustained. Be it Development Support or Resource Generation, Advocacy or Volunteer Action, we worked towards deepening our efforts to ensure a more robust and long-lasting impact. So that the wheels of change carry our children into a future that’s bright and purposeful for all. With faith and goodwill, Puja Marwaha Chief Executive CRY- Child Rights and You P.S.: Do write to me at [email protected] with your thoughts or feedback. 02 TRUSTEE REPORT 03 Before we take you through the year that’s been, here’s a glimpse of what your support has helped us achieve. t 8FSFBDIFEPVUUP DIJMESFOBOEUIFJSGBNJMJFTGSPN WJMMBHFTBOETMVNTBDSPTT 142 districts of 23 states t "NPOH TDIPPMHPJOHDIJMESFO DIJMESFOXIPESPQQFEPVU CFUXFFOBOE years were re-enrolled t 8FIFMQFETFUVQOFXTDIPPMTBOEGBDJMJUBUFEUIFVQHSBEFPGFYJTUJOHTDIPPMTGSPN primary to higher levels t 8FFOTVSFEUIBU DIJMESFOXFSFJNNVOJTFEXJUIJOUIFJSst year t 8FJEFOUJöFE DIJMESFOXJUIWBSZJOHEFHSFFTPGNBMOVUSJUJPO BNPOHUIFNXFSF identified as severely malnourished (SAM) and were brought under the safety net t /PJODJEFODFTPGDIJMENBSSJBHFXFSFJEFOUJöFEBOEPSSFQPSUFEGSPN WJMMBHFT cases of child marriages were prevented t *OUFSWFOUJPOTPOUSBóDLJOHMFEUPSFTDVFBOESFIBCJMJUBUJPOPGNPSFDIJMESFOBDSPTT regions t NPSFWJMMBHFTBOETMVNTSFQPSUFEUPUBMBCTFODFPGDIJMEMBCPVS Thank you for all your efforts in making this possible.

  • Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions
    HUMAN RIGHTS QUARTERLY Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions James Ron* & David Crow** ABSTRACT Local human rights organizations (LHROs) are crucial allies in international efforts to promote human rights. Without support from organized civil society, efforts by transnational human rights reformers would have little effect. Despite their importance, we have little systematic information on the correlates of public trust in LHROs. To fill this gap, we conducted key informant interviews with 233 human rights workers from sixty countries, and then administered a new Human Rights Perceptions Poll to represen- tative public samples in Mexico (n = 2,400), Morocco (n = 1,100), India (n = 1,680), and Colombia (n = 1,699). Our data reveal that popular trust in local rights groups is consistently associated with greater respondent familiarity with the rights discourse, actors, and organizations, along with greater skepticism toward state institutions and agents. The evidence fails to provide consistent, strong support for other commonly held expectations, however, including those about the effects of foreign funding, socioeconomic status, and transnational connections. I. INTRODUCTION Domestic civil society is a crucial player in international efforts to promote human rights. Without organized pressure “from below,” governments will rarely translate international human rights laws and commitments into mean- * James Ron holds the Harold E.

Our single-minded efforts over the last 3 decades have been to restore to India’s children their rights. In the last two years especially, our focus has been on underlining and putting into action long-term goals that focus on the child while also ensuring sustainability of our efforts. We’ve worked to ensure that these are measurable goals for ensuring child rights across CRY-supported projects. And we’ve also attempted to figure out the impact of goal setting and of the progress we’ve made. Much work has been done, but in the current Indian context, where children’s rights have low priority and violations are significant, it is clear that our actions need to be more focused and must bring about lasting change for children. As an organisation that spearheads the movement for child rights, we realise the need to be more strategic in our choice of issues, approaches and utilisation of resources to maximise our impact on children.

  • Internships (Human Development and Childhood Studies)
    INTERNSHIPS (HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND CHILDHOOD STUDIES) The Department of Human Development and Childhood Studies has over the years developed a network with various reputed schools, government and non-government organisations and other research and extension agencies. Every year in the months of June-July, students are helped to link with these organisations based on their interests for the purpose of internship. This provides excellent opportunities to prepare for and understand the professional world through field exposure, hands-on learning and peer networking. Students document their experiences as well as make a presentation at the department which leads to both reflection and consolidation of their work. As a consequence of good performance these organizations have also offered employment to the students, once recent example is SEWA Bharat. The details of our interning organisations are as follows: Year List of Interning organizations 2015 1. Aman, Ishwari Bhawan 2. Arpan Institute for Mentally Handicapped Children 3. BINDU 4.
