Sharing Knowledge, Driving Change

Research

Research plays an important role at Halley Movement. We believe that through research, we are better prepared to devise policies and measures for the protection of our children.
Research guides us for the need for capacity building of stakeholders working with children such as teachers, & community leaders, and also contributes towards devising an action plan in a preventive way to address current or forthcoming children’s issues.
