POCSO Awareness Sessions: Building Safe Spaces for Young Innovators

April 17 - May 7

At Aadhaar, we believe that innovation begins with safety. Before young minds can explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STE(A)M), they must first feel protected, respected, and heard. That’s why we’ve made it a priority to create environments where learning is rooted in trust.

As part of this mission, we recently partnered with the Martha Farrell Foundation (MFF) to conduct a series of awareness sessions under their Online Training Module focused on the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. These sessions were held across government schools in Delhi over the span of a few weeks.

What unfolded was more than just a training—it was a powerful opportunity for dialogue. For many students, it was the first time they felt safe to speak openly about personal boundaries, safety, and responsibility. One girl asked, “If something happens to a friend, can I report it for them?”—a simple question that reflected deep engagement and empathy.

Importantly, boys participated actively too seeking to understand how they could be allies, support their peers, and challenge harmful norms. Teachers also found value in the sessions, sharing that they now feel more equipped to safeguard and guide their students.

For us, this initiative wasn’t just a one-time intervention—it was a step toward making protection a core pillar of education. Because before students can build their futures, they must feel secure in their present.

We’re proud of this collaboration, and more importantly, we’re committed to continuing this essential work. This is just the beginning.
