FREEDOM FROM FEAR

Bodhini is an NGO working in the spaces of online safety, body safety, healing and wellness since 2014.

Bodhini works mainly on educating individuals to use online spaces safely and helps them to move forward with positivity and healing, firmly believing that every individual has a right to a life free from fear, thus making it our tagline of "freedom from fear". The content created by us is used all over the globe as resource materials. We do consultations for governments and commissions, and have a helpline running alongside our movies on our YouTube channel. We also conduct trainings and sessions to address gaps where needed.

About us

Why the need

Born from care, driven by hope.

Some statistics: The National Crime Records Bureau, India (NCRB) has reported that 1,62,449 cases of crime against children were registered in 2022, of which 64,469 (39.7%) were filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO). While 1322 cases of cyber crimes were reported in 2010, the numbers escalated to 65,893 in 2022. Cyber crimes in India have gone up by about 400% during the global pandemic.

what we do

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Started as a project of the Rotary Club of Cochin Metropolis in 2015, Bodhini evolved into Bodhini Metropolis Charitable Trust, currently working in the areas of online safety, body safety, healing and wellness.

Bodhini believes that empowering individuals, with the knowledge of safety rules and with the courage to never give into threats, is the best bet to keep them safe. Thus, we are working in the spaces of preventive awareness and empowerment by conducting awareness sessions through schools, colleges and other institutions. Bodhini strongly believes that life should never be defined by fear or threat and that each person deserves to heal and move on to better spaces.

In addition to the different modules that we deliver through our sessions, we have also developed resource materials that empower and help individuals to heal. We, at Bodhini, were able to fill part of the void in the space of online safety awareness and rules. This came to our attention when two children in Class V took their lives as a result of the blackmail faced by them online. Bodhini’s biggest accomplishment is the positive change brought about in each individual, child and adult after our sessions, which can also be seen in the trust they show us in asking questions, no matter how sensitive a situation they may happen to be and when they reach out to us in trouble. Additionally, Bodhini has helplines in the space of online safety and provides counselling support to individuals and their families. We also work towards the creation of resource materials and advocate for policy changes. Our resource materials are being used by governments, UNICEF India, the law enforcement agencies and other NGOs, and are also being displayed in court premises. We also do consultations for governments, UNICEF India, the law enforcement and various commissions.

Our strengths lie in tapping on positivity, healing, forgiveness and gratitude. Life is too beautiful to be defined by anything ugly that happened in life. Heal and move on to beautiful spaces ahead. Living well is the best gift you can give yourself.

In freedom from fear and love and healing energies.
