CRY- Child Rights and You is committed to achieving a happy, healthy and creative childhood for every child.

At CRY, we are committed to our vision for a happy, healthy and creative childhood for every child. Over the course of the next 10 years, and to continue to make children and their rights a priority, we have reiterated goals that CRY as an organization is committed to strive for. These include ensuring children in CRY-supported projects have access to free and quality education, primary healthcare and are safe from violence, abuse and exploitation.

We believe that the best interest of the child needs to be put at the center of all policy, legislation and practices affecting their lives.

We act through two operations focusing on two important issues: Operation PeaceMaker addresses the issue of domestic violence by aiming to ensure that the cycle of abuse is stopped before it even begins. We provide free counselling, legal and safe home services to women and children who have survived abuse. We also conduct awareness programs which have tailor-made curriculums for each demographic of the society that ensures that the members of the community are sensitised and educated about issues of gender, masculinity, violence, gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment and laws related to them.
