How We Work

To eliminate all forms of violence against children, especially girls, the program categorizes them into four groups.

  • Abuse of Children at Home and in the Community
     

  • Abuse of Children in Commercial Settings
     

  • Abuse of Children under Culturally Sanctioned Practices
     

  • Abuse of Children in Digital Space

Our theory of change

The Access to Justice program fights for justice to bring about the behavioral and systemic change required for a lasting, sustainable impact on child protection issues - child marriage, child trafficking, child labor, and child sexual abuse including online - through awareness and legal deterrence.

 

Ultimately, the program aims to ensure every child lives in freedom and safety, and completes 12 years of quality, public education.

ISSUE

  • Despite strong child protection laws, India still has high prevalence of child marriage, child trafficking, & child sexual abuse.
     
  • Survivors need access to rehabilitation, including perpetrators being brought to justice.
     
  • Crimes against children must be prevented from happening in the first place.

Our child-focused model

The needs of children, their families, and their communities are central to our work as demonstrated in our model, and the program is built from the ground up.

COMMUNITIES
SURVIVORS
& FAMILIES

The PICKET Approach

Access to Justice uses the PICKET approach to its work:

  • Policy

  • Institutions

  • Capacity-building

  • Knowledge

  • Economics

  • Technology
     

We work across these pillars to develop national strategies with our partners to achieve sustainable change for children. These strategies focus on:
 

  • Systemic change

  • Programmatic work and tactical interventions on the ground

  • Innovation
