The activities involve:

-Formations of Self Help Groups and Mahila Mandals(womens groups)
-Initiation of a platform for women/children to register their complaints, clarify their doubts, shading off inhibitions in questioning about their health and sexuality/ interpersonal problems.

Overall aim/goal:

Empowerment of women to mitigate gender discrimination and violence from family to society:

• By direct action and targeted intervention including recovery/relocation of the affected persons.
• By empowering targeted communities and facilitating an improved standard of living in those adopted areas, which are highly prone and known as source and transit for human trafficking.
• By providing the vulnerable women and children with information regarding various alternative livelihood options and awareness generating activities. STOP wants to achieve political, social and economical empowerment of these women and children for elimination of exploitations in various forms which in some cases ultimately leading to trafficking.

Our primary beneficiaries are the children and women living at the remote urban slum communities of Bawana and New Seemapuri as well as the recovered girls staying at the STOPs Family Home

Empowered women work for community vigilant group for:
-collection of information
-open and democratic discussion
- Formulation of plan of action
-direct action including recovery and relocation if needed.

It is unique because it gives accountability, measurability and planned delivery system
which is socially accepted and replicable.

Our activities, that involves both curative and preventive approach, have a lot of potential in creating a systematic change at the national and regional level. We identify the loopholes and then carry forward with our plan in the targeted highly vulnerable urban clusters. We address the roots of the problem and work with different stakeholders involved in the issue of gender disparities. This process involves networking with working groups in different regions. Our experiences are taken as best practices models and replicated, bringing about systematic national and regional level change.

STOP participates in various conferences and meetings which also help in networking at different levels.

good job offers which somewhere leads to slowing down of the work.

2. Legal and judicial delay in the justice system.

1. To identify like minded partners who won’t be duplicating the work by wasting resources which is donor driven.
