By Gopa SInha | Chairperson People First
Namaste everyone,
I am Gopa chairperson of People First with your latest report from the field.
Thank you for standing with us. Your support has directly enabled safe shelter, trauma-informed care, education, and long-term pathways to independence for girls in Bihar who have been rescued from situations of severe abuse and exploitation.
Every girl who entered the programme received immediate safety, medical attention, counselling, and a structured plan for recovery and reintegration. Your contributions funded the core pillars that make this work possible: secure residential care, professional psychosocial support, formal education catch-up, vocational skills, and family strengthening where safe reunification is possible.
We remain focused on dignity, agency, and measurable outcomes rather than sensational detail. The girls in our care are survivors building futures—not statistics defined by what was done to them.
Core Components of the programme,
Core components include:
Immediate protection & stabilisation – Safe residential placement, medical screening, legal documentation support, and crisis counselling.
Trauma-informed mental health care – Individual and group therapy delivered by trained counsellors using evidence-based approaches appropriate for adolescents.
Education recovery – Bridge classes, formal school enrolment, and digital literacy support so girls can re-enter age-appropriate schooling.
Life skills & vocational training – Age-appropriate courses in tailoring, basic computer skills, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.
Family & community reintegration – Where assessed as safe, structured family counselling and monitoring; where not possible, long-term residential support and preparation for independent living.
Legal accompaniment – Coordination with Child Welfare Committees and police for case follow-up without retraumatising the girls.
All activities comply with the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act and relevant state protocols. Consent, confidentiality, and the best interests of the child guide every decision.
Thank you again for your support,
Wth Warm best Regards,
Gopa
