Children’s Day is often marked by celebrations, performances, and smiling photographs. While joy is important, it is equally important to pause and ask: are we truly listening to children?

For many children, especially those facing abuse, neglect, or discrimination, the world does not feel safe. Their voices are often ignored, dismissed, or misunderstood. At Peace and Equality Cell, we believe that children are not just beneficiaries of protection, they are rights-holders.

Our work with children focuses on helping them understand personal boundaries, safe and unsafe touch, and their right to speak up. We create spaces where children can ask questions without fear and learn that seeking help is not a mistake.

Celebrating children must go beyond one day. It must translate into everyday actions — safer schools, responsive systems, informed parents, and communities that protect rather than silence.

True celebration begins when children are heard, believed, and protected.
