Ray Of Hope | Uplift Child & Community Trust

According to National Research Crime Bureau, as many as 109 children are sexually abused every day in India, a 22 percent jump in such cases from the previous year.

As, “creating awareness among the young ones is a key to prevention”, our project, Ray of Hope aims at spreading awareness among children on sex abuse and has become a medium to identify and work with children who have been or who are sexually abused. We work parallel with the state reporting and handholding the child and family in case of sex abuse reporting. Our workshop and awareness sessions are conducted in villages, school and communities in general.

The aggravating, painful and confusing aspect of the children being abused is looked into.

PREVENTION OF FEMALE FOETICIDE/INFANTICDE: (Awareness program)

Working in the Salem Kalrayan hills, its objectives were aimed toward preventing female infanticide and foeticide and bringing about attitude changes with regards to the inequality of sexes. Uplift mobilized the community through women’s and youth groups, raised awareness about female infanticide and foeticide, provided necessary education and enabled the women to utilize their training and knowledge to address and overcome this problem in their communities. It also focuses on transforming these women from being beneficiaries to becoming benefactors in the community.

The women’s group and youth group activities revolved around open discussions of the underlying causes of female infanticide, and what could be done to prevent it.
