There were 1,614 cases of rape against juveniles in 2017, 1,456 cases of assault on women with intent to outrage their modesty and 46 cases of attempt to rape, among others, the NCRB said.The government had in 2015 passed the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which provides for the trial of juveniles in the age group of 16 to 18 years as adult if involved in heinous offences.
बलात्कार और हिंसा की घटनाओं ने भारत की छवि को नुकसान पहुंचाया है. Hyderabad Rape Case में एक Veterinary Doctor के साथ सामूहिक बलात्कार कर उसे ज़िंदा जला दिया गया. हालांकि तेलंगाना पुलिस ने वक्त रहते चारों आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया. लेकिन जब घटनाओं के पुनर्निर्माण के लिए उन्हें अपराध स्थल पर ले जाया गया, तब उन्होंने भागने की कोशिश की जिसके चलते एनकाउंटर में तेलंगाना पुलिस ने उन्हें मार गिराया. साल 2012 में हुए Nirbhaya Rape Case ने भी पुरे देश को झकझोर के रख दिया था. यही नहीं Unnao में 23 वर्षीय लड़की के साथ भी सामूहिक बलात्कार हुआ था, जिसे आरोपियों द्वारा ज़िंदा आग के हवाले कर दिया गया, जब वो कोर्ट कि सुनवाई के लिए अदालत जा रही थी. National Crime Records Bureau के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, लड़कियों या महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार के मामले पिछले 17 सालों में दोगुना हो गए हैं। हालांकि, निर्भया मामले के बाद, सरकार ने मौजूदा कानून में संशोधन किया और इसे और कठोर बना दिया, जिसमें बलात्कार के दोषी की सजा को दोगुना तक बढ़ा कर 20 साल कर दी गई. देखें देश में बढ़ते बलात्कार की वारदातों पर, तनु उपाध्याय, वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधिकारी, मनोहर लाल शर्मा, अधिवक्ता और सुनील वात्स्यायन, समाज सुधारक के साथ बड़ी बहस 'ख़बरों का पंचनामा' में अनुराग वर्मा के साथ...

A Journey That Became Purpose

A Journey That Became Purpose By Sagar Kumar Jha Some journeys don’t just build your career—they shape who you are. My time with the Nada India Foundation has been one of those journeys. I joined as an intern, not fully aware of how deeply this experience would influence me. What began as a learning opportunity soon became a space where I understood the real meaning of public health, community connection, and grassroots impact. Working on community profiling in Haryana taught me that public health is not just about data—it is about listening and understanding people’s realities. Leading a team of 30 peers for a tobacco cessation project further shaped my confidence and sense of responsibility. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was working closely with minors consuming tobacco and engaging with shopkeepers who sold these products. These interactions helped me understand how awareness gaps, social norms, and accessibility contribute to the problem. This experience la...

Nada India connected virtually with eCPR practitioners in India #COVID19

` On Saturday, March 28th 2020, the team of Nada India connected virtually with their co- eCPR  practitioners at 4 p.m to discuss their wellbeing in times of coronavirus and the contribution of the training of eCPR in their lives and the lives of people around them during the lockdown. The idea was to establish a virtual safe space like the physical one that they had created at the training. Kushangi , a clinical psychologist by training, is finding respite in the fact that she can help people in emotional/mental distress by enlisting her services with an NGO that connects her with such people. The discussion was moderated by Riya Thapliyal Nada Team member and facilitated by Suneel Vatsyayan. Emotional crisis is universal. It can happen to anyone at any time.   “ eCPR kaafi practice kar pa rahi hun aur realise kar rahi hun ki koi bhi crisis sirf uss vyakti ki baat sunne se kaafi hadd tak hal ho jaati hai. (I am practicing eCPR quite a lot and I am realising...
