Our core activities

---

The organization carried out the following work under the Migrants Resilience Collaborative program in partnership with DAI. Our organization worked in Madhubani, Samastipur, and Kishanganj districts under the MRC program.

The MRC's aim is to provide assistance and support to migrant workers. It is a district-level unit responsible for service delivery, knowledge production, and awareness-raising. The organization reached out to 350,000 people in 70,000 houses and supported them.

Our District Migration Resource Centre (DMRC) workers registered around 1,95,400 migrant laborer's in various government schemes and facilities and got the applications of 214900 migrant labourers processed thereby providing benefits to 206000 migrant workers and their families. 

Also, after taking applications from the laborers who were not given honorarium for their work, they got their dues registered on the labor helpline and got the honorarium from the one who got the work done through the labor department. Now all the migrant laborers and their family members were made aware about the facilities and schemes provided by the government and they are now working consciously for their rights along with making others aware as well. 

GVYT trained 600000 labourers by giving 2000 Pre Departure trainings. 

GVYT have distributed dry ration support with sanitizer and masks to 25000 migrants labour and their family during national lockdown due to COVID19.

The Organization conducted program Ensuring Access to Justice for children with the collaboration of KSCF. We take a holistic 

 approach to justice for children, which combine the prevention of crimes against children, rehabilitation for survivors, and prosecution of perpetrators. Using this combination of prevention and deterrence through legal action, we aim to end impunity against all forms of extreme violence and exploitation against children. 

To eliminate all forms of violence against children, especially girls, we focus on four categories: 

•  Abuse of Children at Home and in the Community 
• Abuse of Children in Commercial Settings 
• Abuse of Children under Culturally Sanctioned Practices 
•  Abuse of Children in Digital Space 

GVYT for justice to bring about the behavioral and systemic change required for a lasting, sustainable impact on child protection issues – Child marriage, Child trafficking, Child labor, and Child sexual abuse including online - through awareness and legal deterrence. 

GVYT for Justice aims to create the behavior and systems change necessary for lasting impact by raising awareness and legal action on issues related to child protection – child marriage, child trafficking, child labor, and online child sexual exploitation. The needs of children, their families, and their communities are at the heart of our work.

GVYT through the implementation of a systematic, highly focused and intensive intervention model, we are effectively addressing the root causes of these heinous crimes. We use a holistic, multi-faceted approach to tackle all forms of child abuse and exploitation with the close support from KSCF team: 

•  Policy intervention for prevention, protection, prosecution and rehabilitation. 
•  Investment in infrastructure and institutional framework. 
•  Capacity building, convergence of services, collaboration of stakeholders, and communication in real-time for action against crime. 
•  Knowledge and awareness at all levels so that all stakeholders such as children, parents, law enforcement agencies and institutions make informed decisions. 
•  Economics of the crime understood and addressed, ecosystem level response and 12 years of free, quality, public education for every child. 
• Technology for change, deterrence, monitoring and time-bound justice delivery. 

We work on these pillars to create district strategies to bring about sustainable 

change for children. These strategies focus on: 

•  Systemic change
• Programmatic work and tactical interventions on the ground
•  Innovation  

Child trafficking is a grave human rights violation; a crime of economics, power, and patriarchy; and an organized crime for the purpose of child exploitation. 7 Blocks of Madhubani district in the state of Bihar are a source, transit and destination district for child trafficking as it borders the country of Nepal. Children are generally trafficked for the explicit purpose of commercial exploitation, resulting in child labour and slavery.

While industries such as manufacturing, hospitality and domestic work are where children are ‘traditionally’ trafficked into child labour, new industries have become emerging destination sectors. These include spas, massage parlors, placement agencies and online platforms. 

Children trafficked into child marriage or commercial sexual exploitation also suffer crimes of child rape and other forms of sexual abuse.

Child trafficking is difficult to detect because it occurs covertly. We aim to eliminate child trafficking through: 

• Prevention through community awareness and action. 
• Specialized assistance to address the root causes of trafficking. 
• Ensuring widespread action against perpetrators to prevent child trafficking.

We focus our work in areas where child trafficking is most likely to be a source or target destination. We ensure immediate child safety, rehabilitation, and caregiver alerts for survivors. We strengthen communities, provide legal and psychosocial support, and strive for the continued protection of children in villages/panchayats/blocks. 

We combat child trafficking and labor through awareness campaigns, advocacy to address root causes, and stakeholder engagement. We work with law enforcement to improve enforcement and promote reporting and investigation of cases at the district and village levels. 

GVYTs are making a significant impact in exposing trafficking crimes, repatriating children, and securing justice for survivors. 354 children were rescued from trafficking and FIRs were lodged in 302 cases and 88 cases were registered against child trafficking.

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is one of the worst forms of violence against children, viciously curtailing childhoods and usually resulting in long-term harm. 

All of these figures relate to cases which were reported to the police, but child sexual abuse is well-known to be under-reported, usually due to the stigma attached or likely repercussions, particularly given the extremely high likelihood of perpetrators being known to victims. 

In Madhubani, research conducted by GVYT over the past two years shows that the prevalence of child sexual abuse is alarmingly high, with these studies consistently reporting that almost half of the children have suffered some form of sexual abuse. However, it is a crime that is very under-reported. Victims and their families fear the stigma associated with sexual crimes if they know about the crime and the community’s response and reaction if information about the crime becomes public. The most violent sexual abuse crimes are likely to be committed by offenders known to the victim – usually family members or family friends. Children are easily put off speaking about the crime for fear of not being believed or punished.

GVYT aims to significantly increase the current 60% conviction rate in the district to completely eliminate the impunity surrounding child sexual abuse, thereby preventing child sexual abuse.
