👧 Introduction

Hello friends,

I am Uttama Surve, a 14-year-old child leader working to protect children from harm.

Sometimes children are not heard, but I want to help every child speak up safely and confidently because every voice matters.

I am the coordinator of the 🌈 Uttama Child Protection Awareness Program and Protection Organization. My father, Aniruddha Surve, a dedicated Para-Legal Volunteer (PLV), inspires me to stand for child protection and build a caring community.

📢 Why Should Children Speak Up?

When a child feels unsafe, scared, or uncomfortable, staying silent can be dangerous.
By speaking up:

• We protect ourselves.

• We protect our friends.

• We stop the wrong things from continuing.
  Speaking up is a superpower when used in the right way and at the right time!
