Latest Issue
Vol 10, June 2008
This newsletter brings to you the issue of the girl child. Girls in India have not fared well and this is repeatedly brought out through studies and statistics such as the sex ratio, school enrolment and drop out rates, child marriage etc. This is not due to any lack of intelligence or capability, but due to continuous discrimination that she faces right through childhood and beyond. A girl child born into a tribal or dalit family is doubly disadvantaged with additional layers of discrimination & oppression. Feticide, infanticide, child labor, lack of education and health opportunities, malnutrition constantly confront her. Read the newsletter to know more...

Vol 9, April 2008
In our first newsletter for 2008, CRY America is happy to say that our fight for child rights goes on. The going is as tough as ever, but thanks to likeminded and committed supporters like you, we continue to impact the lives of thousands of children like Subhag Lal who once a child laborer has today grown up to be the village pradhan in Ghorewal in Sonebhadra district in Uttar Pradesh, North India. While the issue of child labor needs to be looked at holistically, small, everyday things we do as responsible citizens, can add up to make a bigger difference to the lives of children.

Vol 7, July 2007
This newsletter, the first after our name change from Child Relief and You America Inc. to Child Rights and You America Inc. attempts to illustrate the difference between a relief and a rights approach to dealing with children's issues.

The newsletter also captures key insights on the rights of children in India, presented by Ingrid Srinath, Chief Executive, CRY India and an inspiring speech on the Indian economy by Fareed Zakaria, Editor, Newsweek International, at Pledge 2007, a charity dinner organized by CRY America in May 2007.
