UNICEF has been working closely with the Government, police, judiciary, communities and children to create more awareness, creating child-friendly spaces -child-friendly police stations, child-friendly courts. The state is now rolling out a School Safety Programme to ensure that children are safe not only in schools but also on their way to school.
