BBA is a frontline anti-trafficking and anti-slavery grassroots movement in India, founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi in 1980. Its core activities are run and managed through the registered society ‘Association for Voluntary Action’ (AVA).
The liberating and humanising philosophy of the movement continues to remain central to its activism against all forms of violation of child rights.
Started in 1980, Bachpan Bachao Andolan is India’s largest movement for the protection of children and works with government agencies and policy makers to strengthen the system.
