MISSING CHILD ALERT PROJECT 2024-25
Missing Child Alert (MCA) is a cross border project which responds to the grave issue of child trafficking and its close link with intrinsic issue of ‘missing and trafficked children’ in South Asia. The project is led by Plan India, Plan International Bangladesh and Plan International Nepal in coordination with South Asia Initiative to End Violence against Children (SAIEVAC). MCA Phase-I was carried out from Jul’ 12 to Mar’ 17 to prevent and respond to child trafficking within and between Bangladesh, India and Nepal. The project aimed to improve cooperation between families, communities, law enforcement, governments and service providers to strengthen the national and regional system that helps to reduce the number of missing and trafficking cases and improve the effectiveness and quality of the action of all state and non-state actors. SAIEVAC, an apex body of SAARC, responsible for development in South Asia, has been an important regional partner during Phase-I and the bridge year (2017-18). On the other side, Dnet, a social enterprise based in Bangladesh, closely worked with Plan International in developing the Repatriation Information Management System (RIMS), the cross border technology alert mechanism.

Safe Rajasthan & Incresing + State 2021
50,000 households in Jaipur, Sikar and Shekhawati region in rajasthan are witnesses to efforts to make the city safe for young women and give wings to their ambition. Young women here are building promising futures, reclaiming public spaces for themselves and shattering boundaries that routinely make their lives ‘safer’. Here, public school teachers advocate girls’ safety and sanitation needs so that they can continue higher education. In these communities, girls aspire to a career in sports and thrive through technical as well as vocational training. All this is the result of Plan India’s long-term gender transformation programme Safer Cities which focuses on the gap in programming and research pertaining to how adolescent girls experience public spaces differently than men.
Safer Cities has put adolescent girls at the centre and challenges the perception of safety and fear of violence that define girls’ negotiation. It supports girls and boys in becoming active citizens by building capacities and creating opportunities for participation in city life. The programme is also being implemented in two wards of Jaipur.
- Increased adolescent girls’ safety and access to public spaces
- Increased girls’ active and meaningful participation in urban development and governance
- Increased autonomous mobility in the city for adolescent girls
While Safer Cities works to empower girls, it also engages boys and men in the communities as allies. Strengthening local youth clubs is pivotal in effectively gathering evidence and data for Plan’s advocacy work. Programme activities help the children and youth visualise alternatives where safe spaces exist for them to counter the ever-present fear of violence. The integrated community-based approach uses innovative engagement modalities and gender transformative approaches. It also employs unique feedback and participatory research tools such as training curriculums, community scorecards and Information Education Communication (IEC) materials to involve parents and community leaders. Intergenerational dialogues help elders acknowledge the disparities and challenge the conventional understanding of safety. Dialogues were initiated within the community for addressing gender power relations and to challenge stereotypical social norms that perpetuate insecurity and exclusion of girls in cities.
Making Safer Cities community-led puts the onus of assessing public spaces from a gender lens and ensuring the safety of girls back on the neighbourhood. Plan India forged strategic partnerships with the Department of Women and Child Development, Delhi Police, transport service providers, Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights and the National Institute of Urban Affairs. Through Plan’s advocacy, public transport in Delhi was studied to understand the needs of adolescent girls and to recommend specific changes. A consultation was also held on public budgets from the lens of women and girls and the resultant policy brief ‘Gender and Governance at the Grassroots: A Study of South Delhi Municipal Corporation’s 2018 Budgets’ was published. Safer Cities takes pride in girl-led negotiations with local representatives for gender-sensitive budgeting for the programme area.
Safer Cities represents a collaboration between Plan International, Women in Cities International and UN-HABITAT, thus benefitting from the distinct and impressive track record each organisation boasts from previous work done to address violence against women and girls.
Upcomming PROJECT security 2024-25
Project “Security” seeks to provide legal awareness and literacy to girls and young women to improve their understanding on their constitutional rights and how best they can access the benefits that has been laid down in our Constitution. It is designed to strengthen the capacity of women with adequate knowledge of their statutory rights, entitlement under various schemes and access to social and legal justice. This will not only provide empowerment but a better future for girls and young women leading to a stronger and more inclusive society.
Many children, adolescent girls and young women, particularly from poor and underprivileged families and communities lack awareness and understanding of their Constitutional rights and legal entitlements aimed at improving their life situation and promoting their welfare and wellbeing. As a result, they are unable to access and enjoy many of the rights and legal entitlements that are available and to seek justice when they are denied the same.
A gradual change is being witnessed in ensuring equal rights and opportunities for girls in the states of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana state (TS). Governments of AP and TS have taken official cognisance of the burgeoning child rights problem. Work has begun to amend and plug the loopholes in the law that allows child marriages. Religious leaders are spearheading awareness drives about the economic, health and legal repercussions of child marriages within their communities. Village-level Child Protection Committees (CPCs) are being formed and strengthened based on the guidelines created by Plan India in collaboration with the state governments. A strategy paper examining corporate social responsibility spending beyond primary education of girls and identifying the lacunae in support for secondary and higher education which accounts for the highest dropout rates, has been published. All these initiatives are a part of Plan India’s biggest global advocacy programme, Girls’ Advocacy Alliance (GAA). GAA is an initiative of Plan International–Plan Netherlands, Terre des Hommes– Netherlands and Defence for Children–ECPAT Netherlands and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Plan India’s innovative strategies for changing social norms, networking, influencing, and gathering evidence are beginning to bear fruit. Youth advocates of GAA are actively raising their voices to demand their rights. Work is in progress with the private sector to promote focused spending and establishing infrastructure to create opportunities for continued secondary education and JOVT for young women. Plan is successfully breaking siloes and creating synergies between the judiciary and the government departments of state legal services, education, and women and child welfare to protect girls’ rights. The project also sensitises other CSOs to incorporate the GAA themes into their core operations and advocacy.
