A student-led non-governmental organisation dedicated to sexual health education and awareness in India.
Did you know that a rape is registered in India every 15 minutes? Nearly 50% of boys and girls each, face sexual abuse in their young lives, 90% of which are committed by people they know.
- Sexual health awareness is crucial – attitudes in India and the surrounding nations need to change.
- At Pratisandhi we’re pushing back – sex should not be a taboo subject
- We conduct workshops, drives, and awareness campaigns for students and the youth in order to give them the sexual health education they need and deserve.
Progressive Mindset
At Pratisandhi, we’re all about breaking down barriers. Encouraging a more open, progressive mindset when it comes to the subject of sex. We firmly believe in bridging the social and educational gap that has been created by the absence of sexual health education.
We hope to provide a safe, open space where the youth can find the answers they need in order to empower them to make informed decisions concerning their sexual and reproductive health and well-being.
Dedicated Team
Our team is focused on ensuring that individuals feel safe, at home and comfortable enough to seek the answers they need, especially about subjects that come deeply entrenched in myths and taboos. With 60+ volunteers and members, we’re constantly seeking to improve, grow and create greater impact with our work.
Workshops and Awareness
We incorporate age-appropriate and culturally sensitive knowledge via a range of different workshops and events. Driving positivity and encouraging open, flowing conversation in order to create an environment that challenges stigmas head-on.
Below, you will find a range of different workshops we offer.
- Safe, Unsafe, and Unwanted Touch
- Navigating Puberty and Menstruation
- Consent, Communication and Boundaries
- Sexual Abuse and Response Channels
- Safer Sex
> Half of India’s 48.5 million pregnancies are unintended with adolescent girls between 14-18 years of age accounting for 14.4% of all pregnancies.
> Youngsters between 15-24 years account for 31 percent of India’s AIDS burden.
With your help, we can change this.
