Activation of Village Level Watch Dog Committee -VLWDC

To protect children and women from violence, abuse and trafficking government created many measures in which Village Level Watch Dog Committee is most important and it has to function at grass root level. It was promoted by Department of Social Defense. It is very unfortunate that this VLWDC not at all functioning and no government officials and particularly the Chief Executive (Elected Panchayat Presidents) not aware of such committee and its functions. To make aware and publicize about this committee and its functions ACDS was organized many workshops at block level and NGOs level. In this workshop District and Block level officials and elected panchayat presidents and chairpersons of the concern blocks was participated. Because of this workshop many of the government officials and elected representatives become aware of such committee and vulnerable situation of women and children. Because this intervention many Panchayat Presidents come forward to work on child labour and drop out monitoring process of girls and boys against trafficking and violence.
