Director’s Message

Sannihita is keenly hearing too many women and children about their lives
pertaining to their caste, creed and religion. The identical issues with most of them
Is about their discrete sufferings due to the domestic violence they undergo in their
families. Most of them are physical and emotional. In this regard, as an effort in
getting the needed justice, fewer times they may not become successful. Eventually,
they will be either resorting to women NGOs or remain as silent sufferers. In many
instances they expect their spouse cooperation in their process of home making.

To counter the issues of domestic violence and sexual abuses, Sannihita stood as a
wall of defense for all the women in need, resisting the social, political and
economic stress in the society. We deal with their problems in Human rights
perspective with the support of the Government Authorities, Police and with
Psychology experts. We struggle to safe guard and implement the rights of the
children and women, continuously..
