🌍 How do we create a world free from Childhood Sexual Violence (CSV)? By breaking the silence, strengthening support systems, and driving collective action. CSV is a global crisis that demands bold solutions and global collaboration. @ToZeroOrg and Safe Futures Hub took a step in this direction by hosting a webinar 'Bold Solutions to End Childhood Sexual Violence,' to launch two critical reports. @poojataparia , Founder & CEO of Arpan was invited as a panelist in the webinar. She shared her experience of building models for effective prevention programmes and the need to integrate healing into every prevention effort. She highlighted that prevention alone is not enough—safe spaces must be created for children to disclose abuse. Her insights reinforced the importance of a holistic approach that prevents abuse and ensures the support children need to heal and speak up. This event was a powerful step forward. Now, we must act. 🔹 Read the reports - to understand the path to ending CSV. 🔹 Share the knowledge - with educators, policymakers, and communities. 🔹 Start conversations - about complementing prevention with healing. 📖 Download the reports here: 1. 2. Let’s act now—because protecting children is a shared responsibility. 💙

Can a marathon help protect children? Events like the #TataMumbaiMarathon are a powerful platform to raise awareness and ignite change. At this year’s Mumbai Marathon, Team Arpan turned every step, every slogan, and every banner into a bold statement for child safety. While we chanted “No Excuse for Abuse - Stop Right Now” and “All children in India are #ProtectedbyPOCSO”, it was heartening to see our voices strengthened by the runners’ and volunteers’ voices that joined in. People stopped at our Motivation Zone to pledge “I Stand Against Child Sexual Abuse”. An issue like Child Sexual Abuse needs to be out there in the public domain; it needs to be a topic free from stigma; it needs to be spoken about in loud and clear voices, not in whispers. And that’s exactly what we did, along with thousands of participants and onlookers! We used our voice to bring awareness and change. Will you? Share this post, spread the message, and commit to protecting children. #TataMumbaiMarathon #ProtectedByPOCSO #ChildSafetyEveryday #StopCSA

Our #ProtectedByPOCSO campaign was not meant to start and end with the Child Safety Week 2024. 💪💪 And the media coverage we have got has helped us keep the campaign alive, even after the Child Safety Week 🙏. It has kept the spotlight on #ChildSafetyEveryday. Let’s keep advocating for child safety in our networks and creating awareness about the POCSO Act. Let’s make sure every child grows up in a safer world! #ProtectedByPOCSO #StopItNow #Arpan
