Annual Report 2022-23
Empowering Lives, Advocating Rights

Note from the Executive Director:
Forging a Future of Resilience and Empowerment

As we gracefully conclude this annual report, a profound sense of accomplishment and gratitude envelops us, prompting introspection into the transformative journey of the past year. At the core of JanMitraNyas' mission lies an unwavering commitment to the comprehensive rehabilitation of torture survivors—a mission that has intricately shaped our strategies and initiatives across diverse domains.

In our unwavering pursuit of psycho-social rehabilitation, testimonial therapy has emerged as a foundational pillar, intricately addressing the nuanced needs of 124 survivors. The profound transformation achieved through the establishment of 34 folk schools and the orchestration of honor ceremonies is palpable in the social reintegration of 119 participants, fostering a profound sense of belonging and community among those who have endured profound suffering.

Our endeavors in legal advocacy and compensation, encompassing 278 meta-legal interventions across 171 cases, epitomize our steadfast dedication to upholding human rights. The substantial compensation disbursed in 19 torture cases, totaling over 72,52,000 INR (88,900 USD), stands as a tangible testament to our unwavering commitment to pursuing justice for survivors.

The pioneering livelihood integration project in Varanasi, Sonbhadra, and Badaun districts has sown the seeds of hope, yielding tangible results with the cultivation of over 36,536 kg of vegetables, fostering sustainability, and generating earnings. Additionally, our initiatives in health and well-being, media coverage, international recognition, and the adept handling of challenges have collectively fortified our resilience and determination.

The transformative odyssey in Front-of-Pack Labeling (FOPL) advocacy signifies a year of significant achievements. Engaging with elected representatives, collaborating with food industry associations, and nurturing civil society engagement have etched remarkable milestones in our advocacy journey. The recognition from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the consequential impact on child rights underscore the profound influence of our initiatives.

Our cultural milestone, marked by the inauguration of the Mirza Ghalib Global Center for Diversity and Pluralism, attests to our steadfast commitment to cultural enrichment and inclusivity. The scholarship initiatives, education programs, and health-focused efforts for adolescent girls, pregnant mothers, and young children exemplify our dedication to bridging educational gaps and fostering holistic well-being.

Despite the challenges faced, the kitchen gardening initiative has empowered families, providing fresh produce and additional income. The discernible impact on lactating women, pregnant women, and underweight children further underscores the targeted success of this initiative.

In conclusion, as we gaze into the future, our resolve to drive positive change remains unwavering. The challenges encountered only serve to fortify our determination, and the celebrated achievements stand as a testament to the collaborative effort of our team, donors, and well-wishers. We extend our deepest gratitude for your steadfast support and eagerly anticipate continuing this journey together, sculpting a future defined by resilience, empowerment, and positive transformation.
