Do you know the full-form of the social organisation CRY?

I had always known CRY to stand for 'Child Relief and You' but I came to know yesterday the full-form has been changed to 'Child Rights and You'. I was completely ignorant about the change and I came to know it yesterday. Were you aware of the same? If not, even you are in for a surprise just like me. On further probing I found out that 'relief' was a word which denoted a helping hand to children which made them to be shown in bad light and so it was changed to 'rights' as it denoted a place of dignity for children. 'Right' seems to be a positive word as compared to 'relief' which is negative. What do you think about the change?

I think the change is for good. It makes us aware of the rights of the children which they have been deprived of. It is everyone's duty to restore their rights to them...
