On the 23rd October 2024, STOP held a stakeholder meeting hosted in the SSB campus conference hall, in collaboration with the SSB unit of the Indian National Army at Jauljibhi, a village on the Indo-Nepal border, Uttarakhand. The meeting brought together government officials (DM, CDO, SSB, police, ASHA workers, etc.), NGOs, Panchayat leaders, community leaders, and media representatives. This gathering fostered a supportive network among local bodies and organizations, emphasizing the need for collective action against cross-border trafficking and sexual violence. Discussions focused on the POCSO Act 2012, ITPA 1956, cross-border trafficking, and child sexual violence. The meeting reinforced support networks for tackling these critical issues, laying the groundwork for future initiatives aimed at enhancing community awareness and strengthening protective measures for women and children in vulnerable regions.
