To realise our vision of creating safe communities for women and children we develop and implement a wide range of strategies including provision of victim support, working on digital safety, strengthening of child protection systems, training of stakeholders, conducting research, building nationwide networking and developing communication resources. In partnership with the UK based IWF, we also run India’s first internet hotline to report Child Sexual Abuse Material found on the internet.

Strong programs don’t run on good intentions or funding alone.

They need people who have the knowledge, skills and space to keep growing.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re thinking about what it takes to strengthen not just mental health support for child victims and survivors, but also the people who make it possible 💜

Our recent series of 5 workshops on Interpreting and Using Children’s Drawings as Tools for Diagnosis and Therapy by Ms. Samindara Sawant (Samindara Hardikar-Sawant), Senior Psychologist, Disha Counseling Centre (Disha Counseling Center)was an opportunity for our frontline teams to learn and build on their practice 🐝

At RATI, capacity building is embedded in the work we do.

Through training and opportunities for continued learning, we support our frontline teams in expanding their skills and bringing new perspectives into their practice.

Because supporting children through complex experiences requires more than good intentions. It requires people who are equipped to meet that complexity with care, skill and an openness to keep learning.

What if the camera is on, but you can’t see it? 👀

With AI-powered smart glasses and wearable cameras becoming more common, recording people without their knowledge and consent has become easier.

At RATI’s Meri Trustline, we’ve received reports of such devices being used to secretly film women, girls and gender minorities, sometimes with the footage later shared without consent.

We’re calling these pervert glasses “Tharki Chashme” because naming such behaviour helps us recognise and call it out.

An intimate image can outlive the moment it was created.

It can be copied, cropped, altered, reuploaded and circulated far beyond the control of the person in it. And with every new circulation, questions of consent, privacy and responsibility return.

Our latest blog looks at the afterlife of leaked intimate images, and why the harm does not always end with the first upload.

Maybe the problem with curfews isn’t just the curfew. It’s what they teach us to accept: that when women are unsafe, their freedom is the thing that must give way 🚫

You can go out, but not too late. You can be independent, but within limits. You can occupy public spaces, but only on certain terms.

Somewhere along the way, “keeping women safe” became synonymous with telling women how to live ⚠️

We need to question why safety so often comes at the cost of freedom, and why that cost is expected to be paid by women.

It’s funny how “that’s just how things are” can explain so much of childhood, until you grow up and start asking who decided that in the first place.

Maybe questioning the old normal is how we make room for a new one 👀

There’s something worth questioning about the way we talk about Sexual & Reproductive Health 👀

We’re comfortable defining what belongs in the conversation. But what about the things that are already influencing how people understand s*xuality outside of it?

P**n is one of them.

For some people, it can be part of their first encounters with ideas about s*x, bodies, desire and intimacy. And when those encounters happen without much context, what fills in the gaps?

What they see? 👀
What they assume? 💭
What someone tells them? 🗣️
What they find online? 🔎

If s*xual & reproductive health education is meant to help people understand s*xuality, how much of s*xuality can we really leave outside the conversation? 🧩

Maybe the question isn’t whether p**n belongs in s*xual & reproductive health education.

Maybe it’s whether our idea of s*xual & reproductive health education has kept up with the world people are actually growing up in 🌍
