ADVOCACY AND
JUVENILE JUSTICE

At the top level of our pursuit of childhood for every child, we liaise with the local state governments to help raise awareness and implement child rights in the states where we work.

Through our project SCAN India (Stop Child Abuse Now), we work with child victims of abuse to bring perpetrators to justice. We also work with young offenders, and those accused of crimes.

SCAN aims at working in partnership with stakeholders at different levels such as the local community, State, National and International governments and non-government agencies, under a nationwide, multi-agency, child protection system.

SCAN works in pursuit of the child protection and the protection of their rights as envisaged under the Convention on Child Rights. To achieve its goals and objectives SCAN comprises of three units, i.e. Child Aid Unit, Juvenile Aid Unit and the Resource Unit.

SCAN also works to create awareness and disseminate information on laws related to children and works towards improving the status of children.

SCAN is committed to the care and protection of children from abuse and all forms of exploitation. The organisation works in four areas, i.e. protection, development, survival and participation in a consolidated manner by providing sustainable and comprehensive services to better the lives of children in different states and reduce poverty in India.
