I commend the charity Arpan for its high standards and excellence. Arpan is a great enterprise, which fulfills a necessary role in India’s society. It has worked to develop a model to prevent sexual abuse of children and adolescents which can be scaled-up and used globally. The issues that Arpan is tackling are unfortunately universal. Arpan has had the courage to address them and relentlessly fight to end children’s abuse and violence. I am very proud to be associated with Arpan as well as with Pooja Taparia and her colleagues.
