Organized by: People Against Rapes in India (PARI) – A sister concern of Das Charitable 
Foundation
 

Introduction
In a country where the alarming rate of violence against women and children continues to pose a grave threat to societal well-being, People Against Rapes in India (PARI) emerged as a beacon of 
hope. 

As a sister organization of the Das Charitable Foundation, which has been supporting 
marginalized communities since 2007, PARI has been at the forefront of addressing sexual violence since 2012. By providing direct support to survivors, advocating for systemic changes, and being an active participant in expert policy committees, PARI has steadily expanded its reach 
and impact.
With the objective of amplifying this mission, PARI convened the First Ever National 
Convention on the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Children on December 16, 
2024. 

This date, synonymous with the tragic Nirbhaya case, was chosen to honor her memory and inspire collective action.
Concept Violence against women and children is not merely a personal tragedy but a societal failure. 
Recognizing this, PARI’s convention aimed to:
 

1. Bring Together Stakeholders: Facilitate meaningful discussions between government 
departments, policymakers, legal experts, civil society organizations, educators, and survivors.
2. Drive Systemic Change: Highlight gaps in the current legal and social framework and 
propose actionable reforms
