ARO 2.73

ARO (Anti Rape Organisation) is an independent non-governmental organisation. We were established on 20th July, 2014 to reaffirm the status of women in our society. We as a team wanted to tackle the problems faced by women in a more effective way to make impacts and touch lives. Our paramount concern in this growing world is that the women are losing all her values day by day and we as human beings wanted to give back her status. Brutal violence’s against women has been increasing day by day. Statistics show that every minute 22 women are raped or become victims of domestic violence. The anti-rape organisation (ARO) believes that people should not just blame the government, police and other institutions for the current scenario in
the city but it is rather the responsibility of each and every individual to come forward and do something about it. That is why we are here always ready to work for the up liftmen and betterment of the women in our society.

History
The 6 year old school girl’s rape case in Bangalore brought all the Bangloreans to the street to protest against the crime. The fury of the mob was so intense and unbounded. There was uproar in the city. Hoping for a safer city for women, a group of four IITitian’s (Ashwin R, Bhushan Nagaraj, Prajwal Shiva Reddy, and Venkatesh Prasad N) started an organization – Anti Rape Organisation (ARO) on July 20th 2014. We started it not for fame, but to bring a change in the society. We believes that people should not just blame the government, police and other institutions for the current scenario in the city but it is rather the responsibility of each and every individual to come forward and do something about it. We consider it as our problem. We want to create an impact by bringing change.
‘We cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what we say is they must change if they are to get better’.
