The harrowing daylight rape of a woman on a bustling street in Ujjain. The brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s medical college. The list can go on, and on and on....

  • 85 rapes/day (recorded), which is only the tip of the iceberg, with most cases being hidden
  • With 1 in every 10 adolescents facing abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect
  • With lack of access to food, education , health, parental care
  • Severe health problems hinder the girls participation in society and contribution towards national economy & growth.....
  • - This is a Profound National Tragedy ---- Hence Self-Defence
