1 Hiring for Project Rakshan, supported by UNICEF Assam Rakshan, in Assamese, means protector. For children to be protected from all forms of violence, it is important that all stakeholders, responsible for the protection of children, act as child protectors. An effective child protector s role is to ensure that (i) every child is aware and protected from all kinds of abuse, exploitation, maltreatment and neglect and (ii) effective response is extended to a child if ever a child s right to protection is violated. In furtherance to this ideal, UTSAH is starting an 11-month campaign to promote children s right to protection in the Kamrup(M) District of Assam.
