Representation of women, and individuals with diverse gender identities in governance including elected bodies of the State Assembly, Parliament or various Autonomous Councils under the Sixth Schedule in Assam is notably low.
The legal assistance and justice provided by our criminal justice system frequently fall short of addressing the requirements of survivors. Our primary emphasis lies in promoting well-being, facilitating trauma recovery, enhancing educational opportunities, and fostering employment prospects, among other aspects.
We are committed to providing extensive legal and paralegal support to survivors of various forms of violence, including Domestic Violence, Sexual Harassment, POCSO, Cyber Crime, Immoral Trafficking, rape, and more. Our dedicated legal core team possesses the professional skills and expertise required to assist survivors in their pursuit of justice and compensation.
Our Training and Awareness Programmes enhance the understanding of the legal, social, and political landscapes surrounding gender-based violence. Utilizing creative mediums such as conversation performances, movie screenings, dialogue exchanges, poster making, and street plays, we actively raise awareness about these issues.
PBET also plays a vital role in networking with stakeholders and facilitating collaboration between government and non-government organizations like One Stop Centre, Helplines, CWC, DCPU, and others. Additionally, we implement a comprehensive Menstrual Health Programme to empower women and girls to manage their menstrual health with dignity.
