Empowering Young Minds at Satwika Social Welfare Trust! 🌟 Satwika Social Welfare Trust (Satwika Skills Learning Studio) recently organized a seven-day course on "Relationships and Sexual Health" for 14 adolescent girls from Sivashram Orphanage Home. Our journey began with the basics of self-awareness, understanding one's body and its parts, and identifying emotions. We then delved into crucial topics like relationships, marriage as an institution, consent, and the concept of touch. Through interactive brainstorming activities and situational analyses, we explored their perspectives and observations. Reproductive health encompasses sexual health, physical health, mental health, and social well-being. Our course addressed all these aspects, including a detailed understanding of menstruation. The final day featured a quiz to assess their knowledge and understanding of the course material. The enthusiasm and engagement of these young minds were truly inspiring. At Satwika, we believe in fostering comprehensive education and empowering every individual to understand and embrace their own well-being. #SatwikaSkillsLearningStudio #Empowerment #SexualHealth #AdolescentEducation #CommunityEngagement #Wellbeing #InclusiveEducation

This is true regardless of the gender of the aggressor. Not all domestic abusers are men and not all victims are fully grown women. Far too often gender politics overlooks the safety of children. ------------------- Trauma Awareness #brainhealthmatters #generationaltrauma #survivorstories #trauma #traumaawareness #traumainformed #traumainformedcare #traumarecovery Child Welfare #attachment #attachmentstyles #childabuse #childdevelopment #childhealth #childhealthcare #childprotection #earlyintervention #emotionalabuse #fostercare #nochildleftbehind

"Pakistan went through a very severe crisis of national disintegration in 1971 followed by a government which was otherwise very progressive but unfortunately, which did not prioritize family planning in the manner that the Ayub Khan government had. Another very crucial, damaging step that was taken in those years was to separate the department and the Ministry of Population Welfare from Health and create a new separate ministry - which on the surface, looks very good but in fact was inherently flawed." Javed Jabbar, former senator and family planning advocate, talks about the history of Pakistan's political landscape and its effects on population planning. - This video is part of a documentary series titled “Normalize the Talk” - where we explore the challenges surrounding family planning and reproductive health in Pakistan and the role of Population Services International (PSI) Pakistan in addressing those challenges.

Successful Prevention of Child Marriages in Koraput District! The Koraput district administration has achieved a significant milestone in preventing around 65 child marriages, particularly among tribal communities, over the past year. Child marriage is prevalent in tribal communities such as Paraja, Gadaba, Bhumiya, Bhatra, Halwa, Soura, and Kondh due to traditional customs. To address this issue, grassroots-level child protection committees have been established, comprising panchayat representatives, health and social welfare department officials, and police. These committees have successfully intervened in several child marriage cases, providing counseling to the involved individuals and raising awareness about the legal consequences of child marriage. Despite ongoing efforts and surveillance, challenges persist, particularly due to instances where tribal parents conceal marriages following the elopement of their minor children. However, the issue is regularly reviewed at both block and district levels, and reports on child marriage prevention are assessed every three months to guide future actions. The proactive measures taken by the administration have yielded tangible results in preventing child marriages, showcasing a commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and upholding legal provisions. The commitment to addressing this issue is unwavering, and the administration remains vigilant in its efforts to eradicate child marriages, especially within remote tribal areas. Join us in Celebrating this Achievement and Supporting Further Efforts to Prevent Child Marriages in Koraput District! #ChildMarriagePrevention #CommunityEmpowerment #TribalCommunities #SocialChange Source: https://lnkd.in/dk69cRin

Despite forming a Child Welfare & Domestic Violence task force in part because of the CFRT recommendations, after the first public Zoom meeting, the facilitators updated the group's guidelines. Incredibly, in direct conflict with the report’s recommendations, CDHS facilitators called parental alienation a distraction from its purpose. Why did that happen? Because a group of man-hating feminists lied to the facilitators and claimed the PA wasn’t real. Then, the facilitators betrayed the public trust by falsely claiming to have “reviewed all available information.” Not only did they lie but they also refused multiple offers to help from Dr. Jennifer Jill Harman, an internationally recognized expert on PA, CSU Associate Professor, and Colorado resident. BTW, the man-hating feminists used their tried and true strategy of false allegations to have me removed from the task force. It’s disgusting that what’s SOP on the frontlines in family court and CPS is also condoned at the policy level. More of the story here https://lnkd.in/gNKJBsps The failure of CDHS/CPS policies and practices to recognize, assess for, and intervene appropriately to prevent this form of child psychological and emotional abuse allows for and enables more child harm than it prevents.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the long-term impacts of institutional care on children, such as delayed physical and psychosocial development milestones and impaired independent living skills. We have also observed that prolonged institutionalization erodes a child's political presence within their community, diminishing the mutual 'we-feeling' between the community and the child. Legislative texts related to children's rights consistently emphasize the family as the primary support system for children. In India, many children are unnecessarily separated from their parents due to a lack of support systems for caregivers and the broader community. While there has been ongoing discourse about the necessity of ensuring children remain with their families before considering alternative care placements (such as foster care, adoption, or institutional care), there has been limited discussion on practical ways to support families in caring for their children or to strengthen families. Family strengthening could include measures such as providing communities with Day Care Centres and Night Care Centres, facilitating linkage to social security documents, offering educational and health support, providing financial assistance, and equipping parents with effective parenting skills. In my work at Prerana, I have seen many parents (mostly from underprivileged, marginalised backgrounds) approaching Child Welfare Committees with various reasons for placing their children in children's homes, including the lack of caregiving support for single or working parents, insufficient resources for education or health, disabilities of caregivers or children, and domestic violence. Most of these concerns can be addressed by providing the right kind of support to families, making institutional care unnecessary. In this video, I discuss the need for practitioners, policymakers, and funders to invest in accessible, flexible, and affordable community-based Day Care Centres to ensure children can continue to live with their families and thrive within their own communities. #childprotection #childrights
Did you know? Every year, approximately 150-200 families from urban and semi-urban areas in the Konkan Division, Maharashtra, reach out to the Child Welfare Committee desperately seeking institutionalization for their children due to the lack of child care services like day care centers. Day care centers play an invaluable role in ensuring a child's well-being and safety. They have emerged as a key support system for families, helping to prevent parent-child separation. Over the next few weeks, we will share crucial voices from the field, emphasizing the need to create accessible, affordable, and flexible day care centers.
