Aim/Objective/Mission: Vision of Praajak: Praajak is a
health and social development society registered on the
17th September 1997 under the Society’s Act. It
is committed to providing a range of support services
to marginalised sections of our society in an equitable
and gender-sensitive and ethical manner. Mission of Praajak:
In today’s patriarchal society males still wield
an enormous power in decision making, be it at the social
level, in their families, community or national level.
Therefore non-participation and non-involvement of them
in various development programmes particularly in health
and education make such intervention programmes ineffective
and unsustainable. Non-participation of males in social
development programmes often related to and results in
misinterpretation of their attitudes and beliefs about
masculinity. Crime, violence, sexual abuse, chemical dependence
and social deviation in males play a morbid role in their
growing up as masculine. Praajak challenges such traditional
constructions that come in the way of inculcating social
responsibility in males. |
