Disrupting violence at home
Here are five ways any citizen can build a sense of safety for people facing domestic violence.
Suparna founded Aangan with a psychosocial programme for child survivors in a Mumbai rescue home. This grew into a country-wide programme with state departments to improve care, conditions, and rehabilitation in state-run rescue homes. By 2013, the work led her back to districts with high incidence of child trafficking, child marriage, and child labour; and she developed a community based prevention model, which currently runs in six districts. Suparna is also an Ashoka fellow and an Asia 21 Young Leader.
