Description:
On January 31, 2025, an awareness campaign was organized to inform students about Childline (1098), India’s first 24-hour toll-free emergency helpline for children under 18. Peer educators explained how the service offers immediate support for children facing abuse, neglect, family disputes, academic pressure, or emotional distress. They highlighted that the helpline works even without phone balance, ensuring help is always accessible. Students also learned about the service’s confidentiality and how trained professionals coordinate with local authorities to assist callers. The session encouraged them to save the number and spread awareness, empowering them to take action when needed.
