India needs to do more to protect children from violence: UNICEF

UNICEF representative in India Yasmin Ali Haque on Wednesday said the country has to do more on protecting children from violence and create a society where every girl child is able to realise her rights equally with boys.

Participating in an event to mark 70 years of UNICEF's operations in India, she said, "Children's hope for a better future gives us inspiration every day. This is important as we know that there is so much more to do."
