Thank you!
Congratulations on completing this super important survey! In India, there are lakhs of children living in street situations, and according to Save the Children, a startling 79% live without a legal identity. We may think it’s harmless to dismiss someone as Chotu or Gudiya, but what actually ends up happening is that their lack of legal identity denies them access to basic human rights, such as nutrition, health facilities and education, which stand in the way of them building a future for themselves. Your responses to the survey will help us design programs, interventions and advocacy campaigns that can help make the voices and demands of these children be heard, and access their rights!
