Elaan was founded in 2004 as part of an endeavor to encourage dialogue on the issues of child sexual abuse (CSA) and incest. It functioned as a youth group for 3 years before being registered as an NGO on June 7th 2007 under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act of 1961.
Some of the issues that Elaan is addressing, and hopes to incorporate in future projects are –
- Parents Against Abuse (parent activism body)
- Education (rural and urban)
- Healing, Dealing and Surviving
- Juvenile Justice *
- LACSA (Law against Child Sexual Abuse) *
- Prostitution (adult sex workers, their rights and the protection of their children; also child prostitutes) *
- Human and Child trafficking *
- Children with special needs
- LGBT awareness and activism (sexual minorities)
- Trauma handling and disaster management
- Cyber crime and internet laws*
- Sex education and personal safety training
- Self esteem and communication for young adults
- Substance abuse and other addictions
- HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment (especially for underprivileged families with children)
- Intervention and support for high risk/vulnerable children

this thematic CSA is a “world wide problem”, same in rich high industrialized and in countries which are progressing. So generally an important thematic Elaan want give it’s focus.
But…
Why is your domain http://www.elaan.org for sales? There is no website behind as you offer it. Is Elaan “dead” and no more active? – It looks like that…
