Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is an issue that has been largely ignored, sidelined and swept under the carpet. While millions of children across the world continue to suffer at the hands of their fathers, mothers, siblings and "trustworthy" family members and friends, most societies prefer to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye on these atrocities.
Elaan is one of the very few organisations in India - and the ONLY one in Eastern India - that is geared towards fighting, combatting and stopping CSA and Incest. It is a Calcutta-based NGO that has been in existence since July 2004. Spearheaded by Pranaadhika Sinha, Elaan hopes to stop CSA to as large a degree as possible, shake the world and wake them up to the reality that is CSA, and to provide support and guidance for victims of Child Sexual Abuse.
