SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Join the Campaign to stop it!

Sexual HarassmentThe International Campaign to Stop Violence against Women and Girls is a campaign that Akshara has been working on to provide 24/7 help to women. Akshara’s CVU Apna TV made a great film on the issue. Akshara and its partners successfully lobbied the police t to create a toll-free, 24 hour helpline for women in Bombay. The helpline is up and running, and women are calling it to report cases of sexual harassment, catcalling, groping and other forms of sexual harassment.But there is still work to be done to enforce the laws that protect women from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a crime under Indian law punishable by jailtime. You can help Akshara enforce.Contact info@videovolunteers.org to find out how to donate directly to Akshara or to get involved in their campaign.Akshara
