Under Project Uddhaar, we support rescue operations with police and welfare departments. We support individuals trafficked into forced marriage, prostitution, child labor, etc; to send them home. Your support of Rs. 2,000 can help provide first aid and food for the survivor, travel expenses for their family and some logistics for our 2-member rescue team.
Project Suraksha raises awareness in source areas through outreach campaigns in village panchayats, educational institutions and important transit points like railway and bus stations. These sessions, attended by 100-500 participants, are for villagers, students, transport workers, officials and people from law enforcement agencies. Topics like human trafficking, routes used, gender discrimination and violence, child marriage, and bonded labor are covered. Your support of Rs. 1,000 can help us organise awareness sessions, including training, IEC material and logistics.
Survivors find it difficult to reintegrate into society due to taboo. At-risk women remain in toxic environments due to domestic violence, alcoholism, and poverty. Our Safe Spaces help women cope with their trauma and provide at-risk women refuge. We provide counseling and legal aid to these women. Our one-year skilling course, trains them in stitching, knitting, weaving and basic computers and English classes followed by study tours and workshops. On graduating, students receive a certificate, a sewing machine, and seed money to start their independent ventures. Your contribution of Rs. 4,000 can support a resident for a month for meals, hygiene kits, training expenses, and legal and counseling expenses.
We rescue individuals from all kinds of trafficking like forced marriage, prostitution, bride trafficking, child labor, etc. The rescue operation begins with a tipoff from the informer on the ground, followed by a survey of the area. Then, we coordinate with stakeholders like police stations and social welfare departments. Following the rescue, we inform the survivor’s family to come and take the survivor home.
A contribution of INR 8,000 will help us conduct such an operation. The amount will help book the vehicle for the raid, provide first aid and some food for the survivor, and cover the travel expenses of the survivor’s family to take the survivor home.
Lack of basic education and abject poverty make children easy targets among traffickers and drug peddlers. At times, some of these children take up a life of crime themselves. We aim to include these vulnerable children into Project Suraksha’s study centers for a year, where we try to rekindle their interest in studying through various interactive methods and re-enroll them in local government schools. Your contribution of Rs. 15,000 will help us run a study center for a month, including stationery, teacher’s fees and rent.
Education empowers everyone. At I&DF, we believe in empowering survivors by providing them access to higher education. With education, women not only get awareness, but they also build their own agency to help make informed decisions and achieve financial independence. Your support of Rs. 10,000 can help a survivor get admission to a school or college, buy books and stationery, and pay for tuition and examination fees.
I&DF’s general fund has been created to help cover expenses in addition to projects, causes, and issues we address. This fund will help cover essential costs to run the organisation, like administrative expenses and overheads. It will also help us tackle unexpected expenses and emergencies.
Every young woman deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a secure future.
