Description
Child Rights and You commonly abbreviated as CRY, is an Indian Non-governmental organization, which aims to restore children's rights. The organisation was founded in 1979 by Rippan Kapur. Over the last four decades, CRY has been working with communities, policy makers, volunteers, and youth in bringing about long-lasting change for children. CRY partners with grassroots level non-governmental organisations to uplift thousands of underprivileged Indian children denied of basic rights by working across levels - from direct action, advocacy, mobilising public opinion to policy change.
