Project Description
Arz started its first project in 1998 in Goa on issues connected with trafficking of humans for the purposes of prostitution. Arz works not only with the victims of prostitution but also with those who are perpetrators of prostitution. Arz works with the children of prostitutes, children of other persons and youth residing in that area, members of certain tribes, shelterless and unsupported women and girls, and wives/widows of HIV positive men.
Purpose / Goals
The funding provided by Asha this year is directed towards intervention strategy creating resilience in adolescent girls vulnerable to prostitution in the red-light area in Baina Beach.
Arz will be focusing on following four aspects:
Empowerment of girls through skill building such as tailoring,
Empowerment through literacy,
Empowerment through awareness,
And creating long-term self-reliance so that the future women are armed with skills that would help her overcome situations of crisis and shields her from vulnerabilities.
Organization Description
Arz means ‘the presentation of an idea of one’s creation’ or more simply ‘to say’. Arz was conceived in 1997 by a small but committed group of Development Professionals from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Bombay, with the idea of social work interventions in the area of crime with persons who have committed crimes, have been victims of crime or those who are vulnerable to either.
