Dear Members,
The Sannihita team wanted to make a presentation during our meeting in Hyderabad last month, but we couldn't accommodate their request due to time constraints. She has now asked us to review the handbook prepared by her team. If any member of the network is interested, she would be happy to organise an online session with them to discuss the handbook further. Please write to her directly if anybody is interested.
Thanks
Seema

I hope this message finds you well.
On behalf of Girl Up Apara and Sannihita, we are writing to introduce our recent initiative aimed at empowering women and supporting survivors of abuse through both a comprehensive handbook and a digital app. Together, these resources are designed to raise awareness, provide practical tools, and make support systems more accessible to women across India.
About the Handbook
The handbook consolidates critical information in one accessible resource, including:
Survivor stories and lived experiences
Self-defense tutorials
Practical support resources
Insights into economic independence
Legal rights and analysis of key laws impacting women
The role of NGOs and community organizations
Clear guidance on identifying abuse and seeking legal help
Our distribution strategy begins in Hyderabad with the long-term vision of extending to other states, particularly rural areas where women often lack access to such vital information. To strengthen its relevance, we would also like to include interested organizations as listed resources and helplines within the handbook.
About the App
Complementing the handbook, we have developed a digital app that provides:
Easy access to emergency helplines and support services
Step-by-step guidance on identifying and responding to abuse
Resource directories linking users to verified NGOs and legal aid
Interactive tutorials on self-defense and safety measures
Multilingual support, making it accessible to a wider demographic
The app aims to bridge the gap between information and action by placing resources directly at the fingertips of women and survivors, ensuring real-time accessibility and immediate assistance when needed.
Our Request
We are seeking the support of the Aman network in two ways:
Distribution – Helping circulate both the handbook and app to ensure they reach women and survivors, especially in rural and underserved communities.
Partnership – Providing insights on our resources and, if interested, being featured within the handbook and app as part of the network of organizations that women can directly reach out to for assistance.
We have attached both the Handbook and a tutorial of the app for your review. Should your organization be interested in supporting or partnering with us, please feel free to contact us directly:

girlup...@gmail.comThe guidance and support of the Aman network would be invaluable in helping us place these resources in the hands of women who need them most, empowering them in their journey toward safety, independence, and a better life.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Girl Up Apara
