Parwarish Cares Foundation is the non-profit wing of Parwarish Institute of parenting Private Limited. This organization works with the environment of a child (namely parents and teachers) to nurture happy, healthy, responsible and unstoppable children. With its ground firmly being- supporting children to discover their inherent unlimited potential, the organization works extensively across the country. One of the major issues that can become a barrier for children to discover this ‘no-limitness’ ; is the crime of Child Sexual Abuse.
By definition, sexual abuse is the act of violating a person’s body with a sexual intent. It includes someone touching a child on their body parts; especially private parts without consent, a child being exposed to someone’s private parts online or offline without informed consent, forcing a child to have sexual intercourse, making the child watch something sexual online or offline, in person or virtually.
In India, there is a rampant upsurge in cases of child sexual abuse. Efforts to eradicate it, are thus the need of the hour.
Creating a dialogue on the intensity and severity of child sexual abuse as a crime will begin with the sensitization of the country’s population towards: the idea of sex as a normal biological need and not a taboo, the disjunction between right or wrong -morality and sex, and the need for parents and teachers to start talking to children about sex and sexuality, preceding the crime of sexual abuse.
Eradication of Child Sexual Abuse can begin only when children and caregivers are aligned to the aforementioned ideas. Parwarish Cares Foundation has created a mission to accomplish these.
The organization stands firmly on the idea that before eradicating Sexual Abuse- a structural problem, it is necessary to have a conversation on what Sexual Abuse actually implies and more importantly, where it stems from. In the quest to do this, the organization has launched its powerful campaign called ‘AAO BAAT KAREIN”, with the objective of eradicating all kinds of sexual abuse from the country by the year 2030.
We are celebrating the coverage of the Aao Baat Karein Campaign at Parwarish Cares Foundation. Through its workshops, by November 30th, the campaign has covered One lakh Six thousand, two hundred and thirty two children (1,06,232), 4500 teachers, 4500 parents, more than 500 caregivers, and counselors across various states of India. This includes government schools, private schools, non-government organizations, cities, sub urban areas, villages and public spaces across the country. The Aao Baat Karein campaign also launched its street theatre project, that translated the session into a ‘nukkad naatak’ which was performed and accepted generously in several public spaces in Delhi including Connaught Place, Palika Bazar and so on. It is currently ready for its second season with several performances in schools across the city in association with Tagore International School.

This campaign covers a lot of aspects which serve to make it a unique experience.
1. Trainers and educators get trained in the module and are equipped to tweak/modify it as per the children they cater to. Our module and presentation with a poster on the same are given to the teachers after the session so that it can be consistently carried out with children.
2. Participants dialogue about ‘why’ there is a need to talk about sexual abuse and its eradication and ‘how’ to go about it.
3. Participants/Children get aware of the various kinds of myths about sexual abuse that surround us. They get a glimpse of the reality of the prevalence of child sexual abuse through actual facts from reliable sources.
4. Children/participants are introduced to and understand the meaning of an ‘Unsafe’ touch and its difference from the otherwise taught ‘Bad touch’. This is a completely new addition to modules on sexual abuse.
5. Participants/Children are trained/ empowered to say NO- through a process of experiential learning, where they learn of the power of this word. Unless and until each person experiences the power of this through a process specifically designed for the session, the session does not progress forward.
6. Children get acquainted with the numerous ways and situations that can be of sexual abuse in their own lives and the several helpline numbers they can contact on.
7. Children/ participants demarcate between sexual abuse that happens via physical contact and that which happens without physical contact (Non- contact sexual abuse).
8. Children/ participants see in reality how a person facing sexual abuse would feel and the environment to be created around this person to empower them to deal with the trauma and effects of sexual abuse.

“I can’t exactly remember when was the last time I was this happy. I came to this event alone, but I’m leaving with three friends and I think they are going to be with me forever!” – Nandini Sundarani

We The Young, a youth media platform, organized Delhi’s biggest youth mental health event on 9th November 2019 at IIT Delhi called ‘What’s Up Zindagi?’ Over 200 youngsters came together from across the city to talk about mental health issues that matter to them.

Talking about the safe space created on What’s Up Zindagi, one of the audience members, Riya Dutta, said, “I found the courage to express my emotions, I spoke to a friend I had a breakup with, I discovered myself in a different light. After a very long time, I felt like I was not alone. I was in between a room full of strangers but the connect developed over our stories made me feel like I know them since ages.”

The event highlights include:
– Seven workshops focusing on individual stories, struggles, and emotions
– Art-based therapy aimed at group catharsis
– Live performances to end the evening along with tons of conversations and hugs

Charit Jaggi, the founder of We The Young and curator of the festival said, “We need to create more platforms and safe spaces for people to come and share their vulnerabilities and problems. We’re 333 million young people, the world’s largest youth population, and yet so many of us are battling with loneliness, anxiety, and depression alone. No one deserves to suffer alone. There is an urgent need for us to come together as a generation, right now more than ever.”

These workshops focused on different millennial mental health issues like everyday stress, anxiety, career confusion, self-esteem, friendship breakups, etc. The moderators of these sessions were leading figures in the mental health field including Juhi Sharma (Light Up, Emotions Matter Foundation), Hitesh Sanwal (Youth For Mental Health), Divya Dureja (LGBTQ Activist & Counseling Psychologist) to name a few.

Talking about these intimate sessions, Aishwarya Rastogi said, “I haven’t seen people being so vulnerable and so strong at the same time. It’s a beautiful paradox! I resonated with so many people facing similar struggles or worse which taught me to be a little more empathetic and kind.”

How many times to do we see hundreds of people dancing together and painting to live music, sitting in a lawn lit up with lights and beautiful origami decorations? That’s how magical it felt when two expressive art therapy sessions were conducted where everyone got the chance to experience catharsis via art. One of the most candid feedback of these sessions was one given by Pooja Sachdeva who says, “I enjoyed dance therapy the most, specifically the activity where you cheer for the person who loses. Never in my life have I celebrated losses. Losing was fun!” What a way to celebrate the little things in life!

The event ended with live performances by two Indie singers, Vasu Raina and Prachi Gangas along with a spoken word performance by one of the most famous English poets in the country, Ambuj Sen Patra. Hundreds of people soaked in self-love, realizations, all sorts of emotions couldn’t help but tear out a little, give out hugs and make a promise to themselves, one that refuses to let life get the better of them!

This session was centered on changing the narrative of Disability, or the perspective of looking at persons with Disability- from Sympathy to Empathy. It was also aimed at de-constructing the idea of the ‘normal’, with the standpoint that normalcy is a label created by the society and similarly, that which is ‘away from the normal’ is also a label given by society. The intention of this session was to create classrooms of empowerment in schools all over Delhi and further in the nation.
The session was attended by 40 participants- counselors (school counselors, free lancers, career counselors) government and private school special educators, social workers from several organizations, teachers and students pursuing their masters.

Harithkram successfully completed the first day of the two-day MUNEA 2019 on September 20, 2019. The chief guest for the opening session and inauguration of the fourth edition of Harithkram Model United Nations Environment Assembly, Justice Swatanter Kumar, former Chairperson, National Green Tribunal gave an electrifying address. He began by suggesting that just like Shaheed Bhagat Singh gave up his life for the country, the students of the College named after him should also be sincere fighters for the environment of this country as well as the world at large. He also mentioned the Ten Commandments that the Former President of India, Late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once administered to a bunch of law students, and suggested that even if a student succeeded in following any two of them, then she/he will be serving the country at some point. In his speech, he gave alarming facts and figures, which left the audience astounded, but also offered relief and hope through simple and practical solutions. He suggested that one should improve one’s conduct, one’s way of life, one’s general habits and lifestyle, and spread the same message far and wide. He also made a poignant suggestion: knowledge and conscientiousness about the environment have nothing to do with science, as the environment is something we live in and breathe in. Hence, everyone must be aware of the same, and everyone must contribute to the betterment of the same. The Keynote Speaker in the opening session and inauguration, Dr. Indrani Chandrasekharan, former Advisor, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change addressed the assembly on “Global Health Diplomacy and Related Sustainable Development Goals.” She gave a succinct presentation on Sustainable Development Goals and their relationship to global health and diplomacy. Her paper was indeed an eye-opener. She shared a wealth of
information with the assembly, together with the relevant data and statistics, and urged each one present to live sustainable lives.

The Introductory Session of HMUNEA had a brief, but an incisive address by Ms. Taru Mehta from the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
Ms. Mehta, an educationist for a large share of her career, suggested how the youth need to be alert to and take constructive steps towards the environment. She also emphasized why such simulation exercises were significant for students: not only did they improve their skills of public speaking and negotiations, but because the students today will be part of decision-making committees and bodies in a decade’s time, first-hand experience of such assemblies will come handy. She also hoped that by the end of the two-day session, the delegates will be able to arrive at concrete resolutions, suggestions and action plans.
The First Session of Harithkram Model United Nations Environmental Assembly started off as a promising event. The overwhelming majority of participating member states indicated their commitment to the environment and to environmental diplomacy on global health. The Committee started with the General Assembly Speakers’ List in which each delegate was given 90 seconds to talk about the stand of their respective countries on the topic “Environmental
Diplomacy on Global Health,” after which the quorum moved to an Unmoderated Caucus to discuss the agenda to be raised in the Moderated Caucus. The Committee then moved into the first moderated caucus on the topic
“Climate Change with Special Emphasis on Global Health.” With a majority of delegates seconding the motion, the floor was open to deliberation. Most of the delegates actively took part in the discussions. Before the session closed, the Assembly, including the volunteers and faculty of Harithkram as well as the delegates of HMUNEA took an oath in support of the Global Climate Strike, the biggest global movement calling for a Climate Emergency, in solidarity with the Swedish environmentalist Greta Thunberg. Harithkram joined the people of over 150 countries who are supporting young climate strikers demanding an end to the age of fossil fuels by taking an oath and organizing a signature campaign in the College to support Thunberg’s call for a Climate Strike.

On day two, i.e. September 21, 2019, the Environment Assembly convened three sessions. The sessions were conducted on women’s health and sanitation, preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and finally, public health institutions. The committee also passed a resolution where the full house voted in favour of the resolution. The secretariat is delighted to announce that the Assembly successfully attained its objectives by covering all the six agendas that were listed by the assembly. The brainstorming sessions did not only bring out the negotiation skills of the delegates but also affirmed their commitment to the cause of the environment. The closing session and valedictory had a full house that was addressed by two eminent speakers as the guest of honours, Ms. Gayatri Raghwa, Environment and Education Consultant for UN in India (UNEP) and Ms. Radhika Suri,
Director, Environment Education from WWF-India. The assembly that saw the participation of delegates from different Universities and various colleges of the University of Delhi, after a brief feedback session, was declared closed by Dr. Komal Agarwal, the Executive Director of the Harithkram Model United Nations Environment Assembly 2019. The student conveners of this assembly, Ms. Rhythm Patel and Mr. Arghadeep Das presented the Vote of Thanks and thanked the Patron and Principal Dr. Anil Sardana, Convener Ms. Mita Hussain, Staff Advisor Dr. V.A.V. Raman and other faculty members, the knowledge partners, the supporters, the organising team and the support staff for their contribution to the success of this youth conference.1
