Rape is the
fourth common crime India and as of the year 2015, average of 6 rapes and 15
molestations happen in a day. Apart from these assaults, street harassments and
eve teasing cases have increased. And what makes it worse is that family
members, friends and people whom the victims trust were committing 35% of rape
cases (The Indian
Express, 2016). This rampant horrendous case keeps on increasing
every year and the safety of women in India is questionable. Rape is not just a
case. It destroys peoples’ lives, future of the victims and even the people who
surround them.

Colorss
Foundation cares a lot about these helpless women who are unreachable and
afraid, which is why we created this program to provide help and support for
them. Our organisation is currently running the Mission 1000 to provide
intensive self-defense skills workshops to 60 girls at Mahadji Shinde High
School and Junior College in Pune India. This is to increase their confidence
and self-esteem in protecting themselves outside their homes.
Our very own founder, Anand Koti who is well trained in self-defense and
karate, leads this program. He aims to teach these young girls several skills
on how to punch, kick and block assaults. Moreover, he provides advice on how
to strategise and escape when situation arises. The workshop also focuses on
meditation, life-skills sessions and value-based lectures to bring upon a
holistic impact on the lives of these young girls. The project not only makes
the participant strong enough to defend herself but also helps to be proactive
in other areas of life and life-dealings
This program
guarantees absolute increase on level of physical stamina, self-esteem and
confidence on women. As we have been conducting Mission 1000 since 2014, we
accumulated positive feedbacks from our students in India. .
This is the reason why we aim to spread this more to as many women as
possible, to further create awareness to other people around the world and
provide rigorous support and help to the women of India.
We hope to
expand and provide more help to areas that are unreachable and this will not
ever be possible without your help! Please help us protect these women by
reaching out to us through contact@colorss.org or by visiting our website and give securely at http://colorss.org/donate/
[Colorss cannot accept donations from countries other than India]
Lets all be
part of the change and of great help to others!
