Jan Sahas means ‘People’s Courage’. We are a 20-year-old community centric organization working intensively in 14000+ villages and urban areas of 57 districts across nine states of India. We work with the most excluded social groups on safe migration and workers’ protection; and prevention of sexual violence against women and children.
4 women are raped every hour in India out of which 43% are girls below 18 years. The police registered 33,356 cases of rape in 2018 — an average of 92 per day. The national conviction rate for cases of rape stands at 27%, which means 3 out of 4 survivors of rape will not get justice.
For the last two decades, Jan Sahas has been working on the prevention of multiple forms of violence against women and girls in seven states of India.
There are 140 million migrant workers in India who are forced to migrate due to lack of livelihood opportunities at home. Poor working conditions, long working hours, lack of water, sanitation or safety equipment and forced labour are perennial problems faced by the migrant workers and their families.
