Violence Free School is Every Child’s Right!

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

The video was shot as a part of the school contact programme under the Learn Without Fear campaign. The program is unique as it creates a platform where children freely express their thoughts about school to their teachers and school authorities.

Under the program children staged plays and shared the experiences they had undergone in school environs.Children raised their voices to advocate for their rights against corporal punishment, sexual violence and bullying.

This video highlights some of the key issues raised by the children.

Please note this is a drama enacted by the children based on what they see in their schools and not a recording of actual happenings. Also, the name of the children involved in shooting the video or in the video have been omitted to protect their identities.
