Nature, an NGO working for child rights in North Andhra has launched a week-long campaign to create sensitisation through art forms against child marriages and laws relating to child protection and child marriage prohibition.

Using audio-visuals and cultural teams, it will visit 20 highly vulnerable areas under the GVMC limits, Nature founder and former member of State Commission for Protection of Child Rights S. Balaraju said on Saturday.

The cultural and art forms through Kalajatha programme will highlight laws on child rights, protection, care and discouraging child labour, popularise free and compulsory education and protection of children from sexual offences.
