While we work for society and we look for the transformation in the society a question emerges that what do we want from society. How do we want to see our society? To understand the concept of just society or ideal society. Association for Parivartan of Nation conducted a workshop on 5th January 2019 at Hotel Sartaj, Ranchi.

Aim and objectives: To discuss the concept of Just society and what rights and responsibilities an individual hold in society. The concept of freedom and issues like human trafficking which are the barriers to a just society. As per John Stuart Mill “Allowing individuals to live their lives as long as they didn’t infringe on the rights to others, to the idea that the resources of society should be distributed to all, including those most deserving first.”

Taking note from there we had a panel discussion on the idea of the just society was to know what is really meant by the term and also does it really exist? And what all constitutes a just society. During the meeting, Mr. Hassan Al Banna quotes that “when we look at the condition of distribution of resources in Jharkhand we notice that most of these are not used by the people of the state” that is why we should have to start campaigns on these issues and create awareness among the tribal. Sneha Shah Deo talked about Human Trafficking in the state of Jharkhand and discuss the various concerns and consequences related to it. The discussion revolved around how this inhuman activity prevails within the society and how sometimes families are responsible too. Sneha quoted “According to the National Crime Record Bureau, among the various purposes of human trafficking, trafficking for forced labour is the most prevalent, followed by prostitution (NCRB 2016).” The statistics are shocking and it’s difficult to imagine things girls have to go through. The team discussed various steps that can be taken to stop the trafficking and what roles different stakeholders can play.

We live in a world of rapid Digitalisation. This phenomenon dictates almost every aspect of our lives. Thirty-four per cent of the Indian population uses digital platforms and has the second highest number of users in the world and yet there are rural regions of India where the technology hasn’t reached just yet.

Human trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of reproductive slavery, commercial sexual exploitation. The trafficker removes the fundamental human rights of the person: the opportunity to move, to pick, to control her body and mind, and to control her future. The main cause of such heinous crimes usually grow from within the family and society and it’s important to curb it from the roots, therefore, the Association for PARIVARTAN of nation in the state of Jharkhand runs the awareness campaign to improve the state of Human trafficking and how the society should not indulge in the activities. Bringing change in the mindset of people and empowering the women of the state is our key to this issue. We educate girls of very small age about this issue, we educate boys to not to promote such activities and by helping them shape the future and coming generations in a way that there is not even a single case of trafficking.

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” said
Voltaire. 5.8% of Indian marriages were inter-caste, according to Census 2011, a rate unchanged over 40 years. The data clearly depicts how Inter-caste marriages are still a taboo in India and there is an urgent need for a paradigm shift in such cultures.

Association for PARIVARTAN of the nation believes that there should be only one parameter for marriage which is love and consent of two people. We believe in the fundamental premise that the human individual is of primary importance in the struggle for liberation and freedom choice is of utmost importance in it. The societal norms should not be criteria and for the same, the organization is running a campaign in Banha village, Jharkhand to spread the word on how dignity and consent are essential to dignified marriage life.
