Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla invites Mumbaikars to support the rights of children through a unique photography exhibition

Mumbai, 23 August 2013: This weekend, Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla invites Mumbaikars to support the rights for children in India through the Click Rights CRY’s annual photojournalism campaign (year 3) depicting various reasons that keep children away from school. The objective of the CLICK RIGHTS – Focus on the Child Campaign by CRY is to involve citizens including photographers to use photography as a medium to advocate for child rights. Eminent photographers such as Sudharak Owle, Fawzan Hussain, Mexy Xavier, Aparna Jaykumar, Altaf Quadri , Vineet Gupta , Mitul Kajaria and Prashant Panjiar and Kaushal Parikh will exhibit around 20 photographs that aim to bring back the 'FOCUS ON THE CHILD'. The photographs will help bring at the forefront those children who are deprived of an education, often found on the streets and generally ignored by most of us.

The event will also witness renowned artists and singers performing at the mall and for those of you who wish to extend their support to the campaign. Special spaces have been created to share your messages.

Speaking on the association Mr. Rajendra Kalkar, Senior Center Director, Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla said, “Through this association with CRY we at Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla aim to join the mission to protect the rights of children. We want to extend our support by helping raise awareness and sensitizing people towards this issue.”

As the country approaches another general election, CRY is urging citizens to step up and join the call for effective policies that will fundamentally ensure the health, safety, development and happiness of each child in the country – regardless of social and economic background. In particular, CRY is hoping to mobilise first-time voters – youth between 18-22 years. “We believe that the 110 million first-time voters can become strong advocates for the rights of children. As they prepare to exercise their electoral rights for the first time as citizens of India, we hope that they will also consider and speak up for the right of every child to a healthy, happy childhood.” says Ms. Kreeanne Rabad, Regional Director, CRY West Region. The Click Rights initiative is part of this endeavour.

So head to Phoenix Marketcity Kurla, and support the ‘Click Rights Campaign’!
