Famil Counselling Centre


Women empowerment project supported by Seniors without Borders (Denmark) was commenced from 01.08.2011. The main objective of the project intervention is empowering the women to promote and protect their rights. Ms.Inge and Ms. Margrethe Bogner visited Karunalaya on 11.01.2012 for evaluation of the project. Mrs. Bakiam Paul Sunder Singh honoured the special guests by offering shawl. They interacted with the Director and the staff team about the project. The Family Counselling Centre was inaugurated by them. The women of our target areas face different types of violence in their day to day life. This centre will help them to find solutions for their problems. The trained women and adolescent girls performed a miming skit on different types of violence against women, which was later converted as a forum theatre by the Director and invited the women participants to act out solutions to the problem situations depicted in the mime show. The Guests said that the actions speak more than words which are exactly proved through the miming show. They assured they would visit the target areas in their next visit.
