To bring a privileged audience closer to a reality that they would not otherwise have confronted in their daily lives. To
educate and inform through the documentation of situations otherwise unacknowledged to stir the conscience of
those who are comfortable within their own realities to take action for change

privileged citizens
eminent photographers
juxtapose images that depict an insider’s (children's version) and outsider’s (public) version
Citizens get a glimpse of the real issues at the ground level and are moved to take action (volunteer and/or
donate)
Direct interface between citizens, children and duty bearers to discuss status (by sharing photos as
evidence )
Round table where ‘Status of Children’ Photobook (photos taken by children, volunteers, eminent
photographers) is released (can become an annual feature).
Discussions on how to bring about changes in policy and implementation.

example:child labour being more stark and visible is still regarded as the key problem behind
children not going to
school…the fact that many children get into labour because schools are poor quality or not accessible we
have not been successful in driving home

Annotations:
Engagement
= Click and Upload as our focus became the number of people who upload
photos.
Insiders’ view
Annotations:
Childhood, barriers and enablers as seen through the eyes of the affected. Which not only
lends more credibility, but also offers the opportunity to juxtapose reality as seen by some one affected directly and vice versa.
