Aangan, Rozan’s oldest program, works on the emotional health of children and youth with a particular focus on Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). Aangan is an Urdu word that means ‘courtyard’, and as such, represents a secure and safe place for children to play. The programme started its work with children and mothers in an effort to raise awareness on child sexual abuse. However, keeping in view the strictly-tabooed nature of the subject as well as a need to address the issue of child sexual abuse with a more holistic and empowering framework for children and youth, Aangan now addresses the issue of child sexual abuse within the overall context of emotional health. Aangan also works as a resource center on child sexual abuse. It carries out its activities by raising awareness in communities on the issue and building the capacity of concerned institutions like schools, hospitals and other NGO’s on the subject.
