This and Every Day: June 1 raises awareness as Child Protection Day
Yeranuhi Khachatryan, 13, knows well about Child Protection Day celebrated June 1. But the very day teachers congratulate children and wish them safety, she recalls the black days of her small life and the many scars they left on her face and her body.
“Parents are those who should protect children. But I have escaped my father. My father beats me severely, when he is drunk. He once threw me out of the window on the second floor. So, I had my head stitched. He throws me outside at night and beats me until I lose consciousness,” tells Yeranuhi with tears in her eyes. Reply |
