What one needs to be a participant at the hangout:

Internet and a Google account



Recapping the background: 12th June is World Day Against Child Labour, a day to focus attention on the global extent of child labour and the action and efforts needed to eliminate it. Taking this day as the hook to start the conversation on Click Rights and #OpenYourEyes, we are organizing the hangout with CRY and Youth ki Awaaz to show the reality- and extent- of child labour in India today. With 11.8% of the children in our country engaged in some kind of labour (NFHS-III), the hangout aims to urge people to #OpenYourEyes to the reality of child labour and pledge to act against it so every child goes to school not work.





Format: The hangout will be designed as a panel discussion on the situation of child labour today, what decision-makers are doing against it and also discover what YOU, especially the country’s youth, can do to bring about lasting change for the millions of children in labour.

Yogita from CRY will moderate the discussion and Komal, Policy Director, CRY, 1 CRY Volunteer and Anshul from Youth ki Awaaz will be the speaker.



We plan to start the discussion with each speaker talking for 5 mins sharing their relevant perspectives.

This will be followed by Q&A and taking comments from the online viewers which would have been collated by then.

Let’s Talk Periods! - It is the Need of the Hour

Tucked away in the meandering gallies of a basti named Tigri, not far from Saket, New Delhi, there is a very impressive group of girls. Energetically, these girls dance behind closed doors, as if expressing their hesitations through it. Dancing, so they will not feel subdued when the time comes to go home, never ever to talk about this deep dark hole again. A body part that is not to be named. It appears as if you speak the words or name it, it just might come alive! It might even become a real part of your living breathing body. It might as well come out of its dark rabbit hole and whisper its powerful, shocking, very valid, very real name to you…योनि…Vagina! The girls wait impatiently for an unfamiliar didi to come by and tell them shocking (things they've never fathomed, let alone heard). Things such as, “Yes, you indeed have three openings between your legs and not just two.” (हौ! दीदी मुझे तोह लगा आप झूट बोल रही थी!) *Goodness! Didi I thought you were blatantly telli

Homewards

Manorath is gearing up for a new activity this year. It is planning to impress upon the citizens of Delhi the significance of the rights of all children, especially the right to education. The adage goes that charity begins at home. Though we as a rights-based group don’t believe in charity (ask why), we are heading home – actually to residential colonies. There we will be conducting workshops on child rights. The planning and preparation have already begun. Permissions are being sought from various residential associations in the city. If you want us to come to your colony, send us the contact details of your RWA. If you want to participate, book a seat in the volunteer orientation that happens on the first Sunday of every month. But before that make sure you contact the volunteer manager. See you.
