POCSO Awareness Programme

An awareness programme on the POCSO Act and Child Helpline was conducted to Marialaya shelter home children (CCI and Open Shelter), led by Special Police Officers from the Singappen Team, Flower Bazaar. The session focused on recognizing different forms of abuse, understanding personal safety and knowing how to seek help. The children were encouraged to speak up without fear, approach trusted adults and report any form of abuse or threat. The programme empowered them with greater awareness of their rights, safety and the importance of protecting themselves.
