“Parichay: Learning from Sharing” is an initiative by ARZ aimed at addressing the societal stigma faced by survivors of sex trafficking. Survivors often struggle with the deep emotional and psychological trauma caused by their experiences, which leaves them feeling isolated and underconfident, making it difficult for them to reintegrate into society.

Through this program, we create meaningful opportunities for survivors to connect with various individuals who play important roles in the community. These individuals, called resource persons, include lawyers, artists, judges, entrepreneurs, doctors, police officers, social activists, and others. Each resource person brings a unique perspective and expertise to the sessions, creating a supportive and inspiring environment for the survivors.

During these sessions, the resource persons share insights about their roles in society and the work they do. The format is interactive and open, encouraging survivors to ask questions, share their thoughts, and engage in meaningful conversations. This exchange not only helps survivors learn about different professions and contributions but also builds their confidence and helps them feel more included in the community.
