“Over the past decade, Yogita through PARI has extended a helping hand to more than 100 victims of sexual violence, providing invaluable support in legal battles, therapy, and education. In just the last 2-3 years only we have assisted 35 victims. It is a challenging task, but someone has to do it. Someone has to speak up for these rape survivors and make sure they find their way back to a normal life.” – Yogita
Yogita Bhayana, an anti-rape activist founder of People Against Rape in India (PARI), has committed her life to combating the pervasive issue of sexual violence. Every day, the organisation receives an alarming 4-5 distress calls from survivors, highlighting the urgency of their mission
At the age of 27, Yogita left behind her job as a flight attendant to start Das Charitable Foundation to those who were adversely affected by road accidents. But it was the Nirbhaya gang rape case which led her to start PARI foundation – A nonprofit run by young people that fights against sexual violence, promotes ways to prevent it, and supports survivors who may be afraid to speak out due to the stigma around this issue.
Yogita not only emotionally supports survivors but also helps them report incidents to the police. Unfortunately, over 5,000 cases of child violence have been reported, and 90% go unreported, especially when it involves boys. This is a significant and overlooked problem that needs attention.
