Strategies finalised on child rights

VISAKHAPATNAM: Several voluntary organisations working in North Andhra have finalised an action plan to sustain and strengthen child rights campaign by having a network of NGOs.

Dhimsa Foundation evolved the operational strategies of elaborate advocacy campaigns and issue-based field campaigns after a recent workshop conducted by DKA-Austria, a resource group, Nature, a child rights advocacy NGO and Mahita, which campaigns on functional rights.

The meeting held here resolved to intensify the campaign through posters and leaflets and sensitizing the tribal and non-tribal students in backward areas on their rights.
