Strategy and Perspectives
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.
