AMAN believes that the consequences of man-made disasters are increasingly evident in India today. These include:
- the thousands of bereaved and single-parent families
- the growing number of refugees and orphans who face an uncertain future
- the erosion of state institutions that are meant to resolve conflict
- the growth of sectarian and intolerant attitudes
- the spread of prejudice among children and young adults
- the increasing acceptance of violence, the normalisation of brutality
- the neglect of marginalised peoples and voices
- the daily struggle faced by women, men and children living with traumatic memories
AMAN considers it imperative to prevent such disasters or reduce their
impact. We take a pro-active approach to conflict. Our projects focus
on the social and psychological rehabilitation of people made invisible
by conflict, especially orphans, refugees and widows. AMAN networking,
sensitisation and legal-aid programmes strengthen democratic
institutions and develop society's resources for non-violent conflict
resolution.
