  • Since

    1993

The organisation was registered under the Society Registration Act, 1860 in 1993 in Bihar. Since its humble beginning, it has emerged as an independen Read moret non-profit organisation for undertaking action research, advocacy and training dealing with multiple issues of society, the organisation tries to justify the purpose of its establishment by taking up new challenges of various social aspects of rural life that engaged with marginalised communities and aim to address the growing inequalities, and also aims for establishing a society where men and women have equal participation in every sector concerning health, education, independent livelihoods and to secure a safety net for child protection. Over the past years, attempts have been made to remove social injustice by joining hands with global initiative to reduce the prevalence of slavery of many forms and trafficking among the vulnerable sections of society. The vision of the organisation is to empower women, adolescents, children and youth so that they will contribute in nations's development future. The Centre DIRECT envisages a just society where empowered women, adolescents and youth live healthy life. The mission of the organisation is to enhance women's social status by empowering them to gain control over their own health and development concerns. It works across six districts in the state. It has developed a community strengthening model called the community vigilance committee (CVC). The CVC is formed of 20 vulnerable women of the community where interventions take place. These women after multiple capacity building training become a change agent and keep a watch out on machinations of trafficking in the community, violence against women and children, and make community people empowered enough to gain access to government schemes fearlessly without being fallen in trapped to middlemen. The organisation has been rebuilding lives of over 500 child trafficking survivors in the state. It scripted history in the area of prosecution when a child trafficker got punished with life-imprisonment by Jaipur Court in August 2019. It was the first-ever life imprisonment to any child trafficker in India. It has been working in 56 vulnerable communities to help the vulnerable population come out of distress caused by the COVID_19.
