ChildLine in long term process of raising awareness, they uses various mechanism and strategies to reach out to all doors of professional departments and community who turns at times, deaf to the need of these children or even if they know, they do not know how to react and how they can contribute for welfare of children whom we consider allied to children at risk? Hence ChildLine endeavour to raise awareness to Government and Private sector about Child Protection issues services of ChildLine and gather their support for children in distress. Children come from various ensnared problematic avenues that may be visible or invisible to family or society.
