Lecture by Director, ARZ Foundation

[Shrirupa Sengupta]

Dear All,

Mr.Arun Pandey is our alumni and the director of ARZ foundation, Goa. 

Following is a brief on the work of ARZ Foundation

ARZ is an NGO working in the red light areas of Goa with the objective of educating the children of commercial sex workers and the sex workers themselves. Arz was conceived in 1997 by a small but committed group of Development Professionals from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Bombay, with the idea of social work interventions in the area of crime with persons who have committed crimes, have been victims of crime or those who are vulnerable to either. 

Arz works not only with the victims of prostitution but also with those who are perpetrators of prostitution. Additionally the project also works with the children of prostitutes, children of other persons and youth residing in that area, members of certain tribes, shelterless and unsupported women and girls, and wives/widows of HIV positive men. 

Arz focuses on following four aspects: Empowerment of girls through skill building such as tailoring, Empowerment through literacy, Empowerment through awareness, And creating long-term self-reliance so that the future women are armed with skills that would help her overcome situations of crisis and shields her from vulnerabilities.
