Logo for Arpan with red butterflies and the tagline 'Towards Freedom from Child Sexual Abuse'

Arpan is India’s largest NGO working exclusively on the issue of child sexual abuse (CSA). Headquartered in Mumbai, Arpan has reached over 3 million children and adults through its prevention, healing, and advocacy efforts.

Their programs are evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally adapted to help children recognize unsafe situations, refuse inappropriate touch, and seek support if abuse happens.

What makes Arpan stand out is that they don’t just work with children — they actively involve parents, teachers, and caregivers, creating a safety net of informed adults who are empowered to protect children.
