Building Safe Havens: Strategies for Inclusive and Protective Environments for Children

Abstract

This conceptual research examines strategies to create safe and inclusive environments for children in India, focusing on schools, homes, and public spaces. By analysing secondary data from academic journals,  reports, and news sources, the study investigates existing protective frameworks and challenges in their implementation. It highlights successful case studies where inclusive policies and child-friendly spaces have been established. The research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between governments, NGOs, and local communities to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all children, particularly those from  marginalized backgrounds.
