ActionAid India Child Friendly Space centres support out-of-school children, differently abled children from the economically weaker background and children with psychosocial issues. Since 2017, ActionAid India has been running Child Friendly Spaces in Jammu & Kashmir in villages across Srinagar, Budgam, Pulwama, Anantnag, and Shopian districts. This UNICEF-supported project aims at ensuring community-based protection of children and promoting their participation in their family and community settings. Children in these communities have lost their childhood and safe spaces of socialization owing to the current situation in the state. The CFSs are run for 3 days a week in the community-based spaces and one day in the local school. The CFS provides a safe community-based environment to children where they participate in a variety of activities including sports, crafts, drawing, and painting. The Child Friendly Space provides an opportunity for peer socialization and peer sharing, and these safe spaces are also used as a platform to address the deeper issues of child protection including psychosocial issues, school dropouts, and adolescent health.
