Child Protection

Child protection is a core focus area, addressing risks such as child labour, child marriage, trafficking, and abuse. Right Track adopts a preventive as well as responsive approach by strengthening community-based protection mechanisms, raising awareness among parents and caregivers, and ensuring timely referral to statutory bodies. Through collaboration with Childline services, Child Welfare Committees, and local authorities, the organisation creates a protective ecosystem where children can grow in safety, dignity, and security.

Right Track prioritizes creating a protective environment for children, especially those in high-risk urban and marginalized settings.
