CRY�s Vote forChild Rights Campaign
�I have always believed that no matter how seemingly insurmountable the
obstacles, they can be overcome through the power of collective action�
- Rippan Kapur, CRY Founder, 1954-1994

Before every election, politicians debate key issues that the country is concerned about -
inflation, corruption, foreign investment and so on. But there's one issue that both
citizens and politicians should take equally seriously, but often don't - the issue of
children's rights. Children constitute one-third of our country�s population and yet, even
today, millions of Indian children are denied their fundamental rights such as the rights
to education, healthcare and safety on a daily basis.
Ahead of the 16th Lok Sabha Elections 2014, CRY-Child Rights and You launched the
�Vote for Child Rights� Election Advocacy Campaign to make children a national priority.
The nation-wide campaign sensitised citizens on the status of children in India and
urged them to vote for child rights and wear the yellow ChildMark as a symbol of their
commitment towards ensuring lasting change for all of India�s children.
People from all walks of life joined us in our efforts and we collected over 1.4 million
pledges thus ensuring a vote bank big enough for our leaders to hear that we, the
people, demand that the nation puts children first.

ONE MILLION FOR CHILD RIGHTS.Over a million people voted for child rights in CRY's Vote for Child Rights campaign and pledged to make children’s issues a priority. Every child deserves a happy, healthy and creative childhood. Citizens of India have shown their support. We seek yours.
