The Child Rights Protection Forum (CRPF) or Shishu Adhikar Suraksha Samiti (SASS) is a voluntary group of community members working on issues related to child rights, protection, and child development. Aspire facilitates the formation of a CRPF or SASS committee in every village, with an average membership of 10 to 20 individuals, including an equal number of men and women. From each village-level committee, 2-3 members are selected to form the gram panchayat CRPF. Members from the panchayat-level CRPF committees join to form the block-level CRPF, which also includes sarpanches of all gram panchayats, retired government teachers, and Aspire staff.
