CHILDLINE OUTREACH:
Outreach for CHILDLINE is an everyday feature.
Members of the CHILDLINE team go out to the
villages and street to create awareness about
CHILDLINE. This direct method of reaching out to
children is the strongest method of getting the

CHILDLINE message through, especially to children.
Key innovative approaches by CHILDLINE Barmer:
1. Survey on slum dwelling children and planning for
their betterment through various resource
organizations.
2. Promotion of CHILDLINE and its services in all the
ICDS centers throughout Barmer.
3. Awareness generation through use of traditional
folk songs and instruments for the purpose of better
impact.
4. Filming of educational documentaries in schools
regarding child rights issues for the purpose of awareness generation.
5. Setting up of hoardings and banners in key areas around the city for better
visibility and propaganda regarding CHILDLINE to the common public.

& Empowerment Department, Health Department, Child welfare
committee, Juvenile Justice Board, Print & E – Media persons, Public

16

 Hiring external resource person were good practice in conducting Open
House programs which helped participants in having complete idea about
child rights.
 Community interactions through CBOs like Self Help Groups and Children
Groups were the key helping factors in enhancing credibility as they have
skill to disseminate information within the village.
 Liasioning with different grass root organizations was good strategies as
they worked in different village, through which we could reach up to unit of
village i.e. community.
 Mainstreaming Child Line interventions with other programs of organization
are effective strategy, through which personals can reach up to maximum
number of population in minimum time.
CHALLENGES FACED

staff faced problem in understanding activities and their process of
implementation.
 There was delay in connecting CCC with other networks because of that
partners faced problems in implementing the project interventions
effectively.
 There are a few problems in resolving Child abuse cases like follow up and
practice appropriate legal actions by concerned departments against the
particulars.
