Appeal

HEAL (Help Eradicate Abuse Through Learning) is an NGO working in the area of Child Sexual Abuse since 2008. India is home to little more than 430 million children, however, it is ranked as the 6th most unsafe country in the world. As per the study conducted by the Women and child development ministry, (2007), more than 50% of children in India face one or more forms of sexual abuse. In spite of a dire need to address CSA, we see that this issue is not addressed enough in society and conversations around CSA are often stigmatised. To this end, HEAL aims to bring awareness and encourage conversations around CSA by conducting awareness workshops for adults and body safety workshop for children. Through these workshops, the goal is to equip the adults to recognize and deal with CSA, as well as help the survivors the best they can; and help the children establish body safety and autonomy. HEAL envisions a community that upholds, understands and values the rights of its children by protecting them from sexual abuse.

Your funds will help HEAL carry on with its fight against CSA. Be a part of our efforts. We look forward to your generous support.
