CHILD Protection & Rights » Anchorage
Case History
It was one phone call on 1098, ten years ago. A call that informed CHILDLINE about abuse of children in the Anchorage shelter for street children run by Duncan Grant and Allan Waters, two Retired British Navy Officers in Mumbai.
The Anchorage case demonstrates how a single call to CHILDLINE 1098 can lead to advocacy and intervention that moves the field of child rights several steps further; how every call at CHLDLINE is a child demanding justice and accountability from the state, from civil society and from individual citizens.
