As part of strengthening grassroots protection systems, a Community-Based Child Protection Committee (CBCPC) consisting of 15 dedicated members was established in Dhurwale relocation center. The members were carefully selected to represent a cross-section of the community, including women leaders, youth representatives, elders, teachers, health extension workers, and members of existing watchdog committees, ensuring a diverse and trusted structure.

To enhance their effectiveness, a comprehensive three-day capacity-building training was conducted. The training focused on identifying signs of abuse, neglect, and Gender-Based Violence (GBV), understanding the specific vulnerabilities of women and children, and safely referring cases to formal protection services, including health, legal, and psychosocial support systems. Interactive methods such as group discussions, real-life case scenarios, and role plays were used to improve learning outcomes and build confidence among committee members.

As a result of the training, the CBCPC is now functioning as a frontline community mechanism, capable of detecting early warning signs, responding promptly to protection concerns, and raising community awareness on harmful practices. This initiative not only improved the local referral system but also fostered community ownership in creating a protective environment for women and children.
