PREVENTION OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND REDEFINING HONOUR(IZZAT)
PEC is a trust and society registered (No. 16883) in Gujarat in October 2012.
The NGO has been working to prevent sexual violence against children for the last decade by raising awareness of child sexual abuse (CSA) with children in schools, families, and communities. It has also been working on the implementation of the law Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.
Our Notable Achievements consist of Conducting awareness sessions on the prevention of Child Sexual Abuse and reaching 1,02,062 children, 4008 teachers and 5581 parents through these sessions. We have conducted CSA and POCSO awareness for all 33 District Legal Services Authority (DLSAs) of Gujarat and shared material for them to conduct local training on the same subject in their respective districts.
Additionally, there’s also collaboration with Gujarat Mental health Hospital, the Women and Child Department and Gender Resource Centre. We have beensupporting survivors of child sexual abuse in over a hundred cases during the last three years.

During these years, we have encountered that in our society, the deeply ingrained notions of honor can have devastating consequences, particularly for girls and young women who have experienced harassment. They have often found themselves trapped in a cycle of fear, shame, ‘log kya kahenge’ dilemma and isolation. The lack of understanding, empathy, and support has exacerbated their pain, leading some to believe that suicide was the only escape from societal judgment and the loss of honor they perceived.
Through our intervention of Empowering Lives by preventing Child Sexual Abuse and Redefining Honor, we seek to break this cycle of tragedy by sensitizing communities and providing essential support. The core focus of our workshops will be twofold: prevention child sexual abuse and dismantling the concept of honor. By engaging children, parents, teachers and local stakeholders, we aspire to create a safer environment where survivors feel heard, validated and empowered to reclaim their lives.
Expected Output
1. A total of 1100 awareness sessions will take place with children, Parents, Teachers, Anganwadi and Asha workers out of which:
600 – Children (30 children minimum, per awareness session)
500 – Panchayats, Teachers, Asha Workers, Aanganwadi workers, College students
2. A minimum of 18000 children and 7500 persons from other communities will be aware on the issues of child sexual abuse and its prevention.
3. 50 institutions will become sensitized to the concept of honor-based suicides.
4. 5000-10000 persons will be able to develop the capacity to prevent honor-based suicides and create a safer environment for survivors.
Budget for Prevention of Sexual Abuse and Redefining Honor in Gujarat Details:
To achieve these transformational goals, we require a budget of 8,50,300 Rupees.
CSA Awareness Sessions: 300 x 1100 = 3,30,000
Training on concept of Honor and prevention of honor-based-suicides: 60 x 5000 = 3,00,000
Traveling Costs: 4 persons x 2000 x 12 months = 96,000
IEC Material Development: 30,000
Office Costs (Stationery, Internet, Printing etc): 1000 x 12 = 12,000
Accounts: 5000
Management & Evaluation: 77,300
We are elated to inform you that we will be receiving support from funders for our legal costs. But we would rely on this campaign for our awareness training on child sexual abuseand redefining honor in different schools and communities. We would require constant support from all of you to keep our activities actively going.
