Youth-led initiatives in India
Youth on the move take the lead
In India, young people have raised awareness amongst their peers to adopt a responsible behaviour during the pandemic. They have disseminated targeted information to limit the spread of the disease, in particular amongst the most isolated groups. They have reached communities through WhatsApp video messages. Destination Unknown partners have also worked with youth groups to distribute hygiene kits, needed to support the most vulnerable families.
Helping children feel safe
Youth-led initiatives have supported children at risk and helped them be safe from abuse. Through these initiatives, youth groups have reached out to children at risk and maintained regular contact with them. Destination Unknown partners have supported these youth-led initiatives by providing young people with training and information on how to respond to cases of abuse.
