Solidarity Foundation

Solidarity Foundation recognizes the significant impact of stigma on the children of sex workers. Through engaging in meaningful conversations with sex worker mothers in Karnataka, the organisation is developing a tailored programme to address the unique needs of these children. The programme will encompass essential aspects such as education and housing, aiming to create a sense of security and well-being for both the mothers and their children. Additionally, the Foundation intends to provide psychosocial support for mothers who wish to discuss their occupation with their children, ensuring a supportive environment for open communication.

Crisis interventions play a crucial role in addressing traumatic incidents that communities face in various contexts. Solidarity Foundation's crisis intervention programme aims to provide prompt and suitable responses to these crises. Offering support and building a sense of community, enhances feelings of security, improves access to human rights and entitlements, reduces violence, and promotes overall well-being. Additionally, the programme facilitates effective documentation of crises and interventions, enabling the organisation to learn from experiences and advocate for policy changes with relevant Government and non-government agencies. By sustaining these efforts, a strong crisis management team can be formed, ensuring continued support and improvement in addressing crises.
