Crisis Intervention Program Bedari is running a Crisis Intervention Program for women and children who face any kind of violence. It provides psychological counseling, free legal aid and referral to other services such as hospitals and shelters. Deprived women and children are provided with psychological support by conducting counselling sessions, whenever required. Every possible legitimate backing is provided and if necessary for homeless women, shelter homes are asked for help.
Education is the most effective tool to empower girls. It opens up the whole world to them. It is not only the girls who benefit from their education, but also the families and the whole nation benefit from it. It is the best way to ensure that poverty does not transfer to the next generation.
As raising awareness among communities is one of the core objectives of Bedari, It becomes all the more important to have our dynamic theatre program. Theatre is usually an integral part of most, if not all, of bedari’s projects. Theatres are an effective tool in grasping the attention of people, who are unable to understand things just by reading.
