Jan Sahas means ‘People’s Courage’. We are a 23-year-old community-centric organization
working intensively in 14000+ villages and urban areas of 97 districts across 13 states of India. We work with
the most excluded social groups on safe migration and workers’ protection; and prevention of sexual violence
against women and children.
There are 140 million migrant workers in India who are forced to migrate due to lack of livelihood opportunities at home. Poor working conditions, long working hours, lack of water, sanitation or safety equipment and forced labour are perennial problems faced by the migrant workers and their families.
Know MoreMore than three women are raped every hour out of which 43% are girls below 18 years. Jan Sahas, for the last two decades, has been working on the prevention of multiple forms of violence against women and children in several states in India.
Know MoreOur ability to expand and operate effectively is closely linked to the strength and resilience of civil society, as we collaborate closely with Community-Based Organisations in all of our programs. Our approach as a grassroots organisation is centred around partnering with and learning from our allies and striving for social equity and the preservation of human dignity.
