Poster

An illustrated, interactive poster highlighting 10 rights of children. This was targeted at English speaking urban school children. Children had to tick the rights that they enjoyed and try and think whether the same rights were being enjoyed by their servants child or not.

Desk Calendar

The desk calendar cum directory comprised a set of 52 cards (one for each week). Each week appeared on a separate card raising a child's right as an illustration. The other side of each card was used as a directory of services for children all across India. The cards were packaged in a cassette cover, easy to display and store.
