This #WomensDay in Malda, @SHAKTIVAHINI & Chanchal College organised a special program to encourage students to become leaders in their communities to safeguard the rights of young girls, by identifying & reporting #childmarriage cases & take efforts for #ChildMarriageFreeIndia.

[SHAKTI VAHINI @SHAKTIVAHINI]

In an awareness and capacity-building seminar on "Anti-Human Trafficking", organized by the Railway Protection Force/ Jaipur Division in collaboration with the National Commission for Women, Shakti Vahini was invited as a resource person to undertake a session for the RPF officials on their role in Human Trafficking cases.

In our more than two decades of work in strengthening "Anti-Human Trafficking" initiatives in India, Shakti Vahini has been closely collaborating with law enforcement officials, railway protection forces, border security forces, judicial academies, and legal services authorities for undertaking training and sensitization programs for stakeholders on Human Trafficking related issues in India.

With such sessions, the organisation aims to strengthen inter-department coordination & convergence in human trafficking cases while ensuring that immediate support is provided to the women & children victims of trafficking.

Nearly a year ago, more than 270 partner NGOs of @JustRightsIndia came together before the #SupremeCourt to challenge a deeply disturbing judgment of the #Allahabad High Court that held that grabbing a child’s breasts and breaking her pyjama string did not amount to attempt to rape. Today, the Supreme Court of India has not only set aside that controversial judgment, but the ruling itself has restored faith in the judiciary to place justice above all else.

Inconsistent interpretations of the law, personal opinion and bias, and at times a lack of responsibility and accountability within the judicial process have often resulted in victim shaming and blaming, and in many cases have forced victims to abandon the pursuit of justice. This judgment marks a critical correction for future generations.

Congratulations and deep gratitude to the @JustRightsIndia legal team led by our lead counsel and Senior Advocate @hsphoolka ji, along with Advocates Rachna Tyagi and colleagues, who have once again rewritten the judicial process in how courts respond to victims of #childsexualabuse. This moment has firmly placed both moral and judicial accountability on the #Bench to uphold a #victimfirst approach. We are grateful to the Bench for inviting recommendations from the #JustRightsforChildren team to strengthen judicial awareness and help institutionalise a culture where justice remains the first and guiding principle.

[H S Phoolka @hsphoolka]

Supreme Court in a landmark judgment directed “Guidelines to Inculcate Sensitivity & Compassion into Judges & Judicial Process in context of Sexual Offences” be developed. I appeared for @JustRightsIndia and brought many instances before SC where Judges have shown insensitivity.

केंद्रीय मंत्री श्रीमती @Annapurna4BJP जी लिखती हैं कि कुछ साल पहले तक बाल विवाह को समाप्त करने का विचार दूर की कौड़ी, यहां तक कि असंभव नजर आता था। लेकिन भारत ने अपने प्रयासों से दिखाया है कि इसे जड़ से खत्म किया जा सकता है। हमने स्पष्ट नीतियों, निरंतर कार्रवाई और जमीनी कोशिशों से साबित कर दिखाया है कि चाहें तो हर बदलाव मुमकिन है।

कॉमरेड का शरीर आज हमारे बीच नहीं रहा,
लेकिन कॉमरेड हम सबके भीतर ज़िंदा हैं।

बच्चों और मज़लूमों के अधिकारों के लिए लड़ने वाले दुनिया की महानतम विभूतियों में से एक
श्री रमा शंकर चौरसिया जी, जिनसे मैंने सीखा कि सेवा ही जीवन है, उन्हें मेरा शत-शत नमन।

उनके संघर्ष, त्याग, प्रेम और न्याय का जज़्बा हमारे जीवन की राह को रोशन करता रहे। बस यही प्रार्थना है।
