program. The program was held in Shri Satteri Devasthan Mandir in Aivao village
in Dona Paula.
Mr. Bhalchandra Bandodker,
Student in-charge welcomed the guests and audience. Ms Rashmi, resource person from
Childline gave a brief introduction about Childline, followed by the interactive
session by Ms Pranita, a counsellor from Childline. The various rights of the children
were discussed including the right to
play, right to go to school, right to development, and right to survival.
A short film “Komal” was shown to
the audience. This film had won a
National award. The film depicted the story about an eight year old girl Komal who
was sexually abused by her father’s friend. The protagonist “Komal” instead of
keeping quiet, shares this incident with her parents and her parents approached
Childline 1098 for assistance and help. This was followed by a brief discussion
on the film and question and answer session.
