Pehchan

Pehchan We use advocacy and empowerment to ensure the rights of homeless citizens while building their self-reliance at every step.

The urban homeless represent the poorest of the poor in urban society. They have to survive with only two of their basic human needs being met – Roti(food) and kapda (clothing), but no makan(shelter). Homeless people also called “Rough sleepers”, are noticeable all through the later part of the night in the city, sleeping on the roadside pavements, on dividers, above hand carts, on staircases of r

eligious places, under the bastions of closed shops, beneath overbridges, at railway platforms, on sea beaches and so on. However, this leads people to conjure up images of substance abusers, pick-pockets, thieves and unclean rowdies - an image which is not quite the truth. Simple things like finding a job, taking a shower are things we take for granted, but are genuine problems for homeless people. How does a homeless person go about getting a job? What address and phone number would they use as a contact? There are some homeless people who face mental illness issues, but they often fall through the cracks of the system and have a harder time accessing health care. They can be seen as scary and crazy, but a rich artist or movie star with mental health problems is often described as eccentric. Addictions are sometimes a problem as well with similar differences in attitudes between the rich and the poor. This group, due to its generally unclean outward appearance has difficulty in accessing basic facilities of health, shelter and protection. Most importantly they are an easy and vulnerable target for law enforcement agencies; their very existence being under threat with rampant violations of their constitutional, legal and human rights. Article 21 of our Indian Constitution grants its citizens right to life with dignity, but the conditions in which homeless are forced to live de-dignify a person and violate all his/ her rights.

🌧️ Mumbai Rains: Urgent Appeal for the Homeless Community 🌧️

While many of us watch the Mumbai monsoon from the safety of our homes, the city's torrential rains have triggered a severe survival crisis for homeless families. Right now, men, women, and vulnerable children are left exposed on the streets, battling the elements and fighting for their fundamental right to safety and dignity.

यश भारत हिंदी न्यूज़पेपर
मायमुंबई" प्रदर्शनी में दिखी मंबई की अनदेखी तस्वीरें
बेघर नागरिकों की नजर से उभरी अद्वितीय कलाकतियां प्रदर्शनी में शामिल बेघर छायाकारों ने इस पहल को कवल एक प्रदर्शन नहीं, बल्कि अपनी पहचान, भावनाआं और संघर्षों का अभिव्यक्त करने का सशक्त माध्यम बना दिया। "'माय मंबईं' प्रदर्शनी ने यह सिद्ध कर दिया कि कला किसी साधन की मोहताज नहीं होती. बल्कि संवेदनशील दष्टि और अनभव हां उस असाधारण बनात है।
