Anyay Rahit Zindagi has been associated with conducting training and awareness on human trafficking in Nagaland in the past years in collaboration with the SRCW under Social Welfare Department.
With the pandemic, more women and children are left vulnerable to sexual abuse. It has also limited awareness on gender based violence to social media and so with this association with ARZ the department hopes to reach more target groups. A virtual training of the game with Anyay Rahit Zindagi, Goa will be conducted for functionaries dealing with Sexual abuse under the department.
