Nav Srishti is one of the alliance partner of this network. Currently Mrs. Reena Banerjee is convener of this alliance network. Last year a massive campaign against Child sexual abuse was launched with help of all alliance network. On the issue of missing children Nav Srishti has played a key role in escalating this matter for state level advocacy. As Nav Srishti have been working on the issue of missing children since 2006 after the formation of APR and its alliance with us through mass campaigning, advocacy and state level planning this issue came in notice.
