Victims of violence against children are growing in speedily and the victims are not only reluctant but also afraid to speak about their terrible experiences . They are compelling by their parents to forget this and they have been asked to lead a normal life.

* Girls are becoming victims of sexual harassment and abuse

* Girls when they are reaching their puberty, they are forced to be in the sex trafficking

* Child labour is another curse for the children. With their tender fingers they have to work in the match factory or beedi industries

* Anti social elements made them to beg in the roads and streets

* Teenage pregnancy is another major problem and they are using dreadful methods to abort the pregnancy

* Rape, yet another problem for the girls. It happens not only because of lust but also for taking revenge against the girls family

"Violence against women" is perhaps the most shameful Human Right violation and perhaps the most pervasive

United Nations declaration on the elimination of violence against women adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 48 / 104 on December 1993.

CDEC India focuses on the impact of violence on the lives of women at various socio-economic levels and how to deal with it to make the world a better place for them to live in.

In India, violence against women starts even before her birth and continues till her death; the cruelty takes different forms from female foeticide to abandoning of aged women and this sex bias has hardly any discrimination of caste, creed or economic status. Young bride faces death due to dowry demands and divorce of the wife when she cannot produce a male child are common in this country.

To realise these objectives, CDEC India conducts workshops and seminars and produces video’s for the public and authorities.

CDEC India mainly serves the victims of violence against Children, Women and the aged persons. Victims of human right violations are often reluctant to speak about their terrible experiences. After the incident, they try to continue normal life as soon as possible and they are forcing to forget what happened to them. When it happened to them, they know their own people or parents have gone through these things in the past which are not to be talked about.

Young girls when they reach their puberty are sold to rich persons and subsequently they are becoming sex workers and their future becomes a question mark.

Poor women in slums and rural areas are often mistreated by their drunkard husband. They are also not getting their wages in a proper way.

CDEC India is becoming a mouthpiece for the victims of violence against children, women and the aged persons. CDEC India helps the authorities to investigate, prosecute, impose appropriate sanctions, provide compensation or rectify a solution of a more general nature with the view to taking measure to prevent the recurrence of particular violations, in accordance with the International Standard.
