Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To build a safer society through awareness, education, survivor support, and lawful accountability.
Our Vision
A society where every individual lives with dignity, safety, and respect — free from fear, and confident justice will be served.
On the ground
What the movement is actually doing right now — in colleges, district towns, and the streets people walk home on.
Hover to open
Consent workshops and open sessions run inside colleges, built with student bodies rather than delivered at them. Every session ends with the one thing posters cannot do — a person in the room you can actually talk to afterwards.
Take part
Plain-language legal literacy sessions, held in the language people actually speak at home. No jargon, no lecture — just what the law says, what a complaint involves, and who you can call when you need someone in your corner.
Take part
Small, closed support circles with one rule carried over from the first room we ever ran: whatever is said here does not leave here. We keep the groups small on purpose, and start new ones rather than let any of them grow.
Take part
Volunteers walk their own neighbourhoods after dark and map what makes them unsafe — broken lighting, blind corners, stretches with nowhere to turn. The findings go to the people who can actually fix them, with names attached.
Take partReal testimonies, shared on their own terms. Names are held back to protect the people behind them. Drag sideways to explore.
For two years I carried it alone, thinking silence was safer. The day I told my sister, something in my chest finally put itself down. I’m not healed. I’m heard. Right now, that’s enough.
It was my boyfriend. I was on my periods menstruating. He literally manipulated me to ride a whiteboard marker and do the process faster and send him videos.I bled so much I had to change my pads 6 times in 2 hours. Then he had the audacity to call me chopped(ugly) everywhere meaning every part of my skin looked chopped( ugly) he called me ugly , mocked my dancing skills and said I look like a retard and talk lik…
Once, I was gone for a family trip to haridwar... My cousins, their parents and mine were there. We stayed at our aunt's house on the way where I was sharing room with my elder cousin, and another cousin of mine. My eldest cousin (Vansh) was sleeping beside me, I was sooo tired that I slept deeply. And when I became concious I felt his hand underneath my pants... I was so helpless at that time. I'm too scared to te…

Often relatives are a safe and trusted place, we say. But this incident made me question are they really safe? My cousins had a friend who was a part of our family. He used to visit my home even before I was born. I looked at him with respect in my eyes, as my own elder brother. Always warning, caring, assuring that he's there to help. However one night, he drunk texted me. Things were normal in the start but then,…
I was 8. Playing outside a temple, a guy, 20—25 told me that I should play with him. He took me inside the temple, there is space behind the idols of God, he took there, got rid of my pants and his own. I woke up, hospital, no one knew who that individual was.
As a kid I was going to flute classes. The teacher, a male in his 50s, would give me chocolates all the time and make me stay late to practice more / teach younger kids. I would be there after everyone had left and he would come kiss and molest me almost everyday. This went on for two years+. I told my mom who asked me to stop lying and ruining his reputation but I did stop going to the classes.
I was in grade 8, barely 13 years of age. A senior guy from my school used to be with me in the same bus, he eventually started being touchy, starting with my shoulders and hands. But then, things went ahead. He started touching my boobs, caressing my waist, sometimes grabbing my butt. I know this thing is something which should've been stopped, I should've raised my voice. But sadly this continued for like a month…
Hello, I’m a 14 y/o teenager currently living in Mumbai. My story is, around a year before, in may I went to one of my uncle’s wedding. I was in my room under the blanket until the uncle who was getting married comes in and sits beside me on the bed and sneaks his hand near my inner thighs over my pants, I somehow made a way to pull off the blanket and didn’t accuse him or anything. I was just staying away. The next…
Hi. I wanted to share this incident because it shook me to my core, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

When I was a teenager, a lot of grown men have followed me, paid my classmates to get my number tried to talk to me, tried to kiss me, all right on the streets. They used to follow me home. Even when I was going somewhere with my parents. My parents never noticed and I was scared to tell them because they would take away more of my freedom but wouldn't help me find a solution.
When I was around 6years old, my parents and grandparents were all going somewhere in a rented car. The car came with a CD player in which we were watching movies. I was so intrigued by it that I was asking the driver a lot of questions. When we stopped somewhere, my parents left me with that driver who was a stranger and went in. He started unzipping my jeans pants. My mom came to give me some fruit at the same tim…

As he offered to help me with my bag he groped my breast. A…
Hey guys, I want to share something that still feels deeply unfair to me. I work as a freelancer on an astrology platform where we provide paid online readings. Once, a client contacted me pretending to be a woman and started discussing personal and romantic issues related to her “husband.” I genuinely believed I was speaking to a woman. During the conversation, I clearly told the person multiple times that certai…

So I'm a discord user and it's shocking how the people there on that app are highly mysogynistic, immature and just down right disrespectful towards women on the platform. I've been using discord for two and a half years and when I say it's horrible there it definitely is. There's a server of a youtuber (no hate to the YouTuber because he has nothing to do with what his audience did to me) and this server is full of…

The system moved slower than my courage did. I couldn’t control the courts, but I could control whether I stayed quiet. I testified, then helped two other women get ready to do the same.

There’s no clean term for it in the language we speak at home. I explained it in pieces, over months, until they understood without needing the exact word.
For a long time, that one night was the only chapter anyone read. I’m writing the rest of the book now — the parts with my work, my friends, my ordinary Tuesdays.
I weighed both silences and picked the harder, honest one. If one person reads this and calls a helpline instead of calling themselves broken, it was worth it.
