When you send us any self harm or su*cide messages, we are going to forward to local police control room for further action. They are the right authorities to address it, not us.

Reminder- this weekend take a #SocialMedia break for a bit. Everything is good in moderation #Twitter #Instagram #Facebook

Sometimes we are so hooked on to social media that we dont even realise how deep we get pulled into the abyss of comparison, fear of missing out, addiction to negative news.

This weekend spend an hour outside, take a walk, read a physical book. It’s important for mental health.

Stay Aware, Stay Safe.

The post Take A Social Media Break #AAH appeared first on Akancha Srivastava Foundation.

Rushing into trends & social media challenges is a sign of wanting validation, an identity crisis.

When we are low on self worth, we want to gain respect by belonging to a larger group, people saying good things to us. Such emotions can lead to desperation and we have seen traumatic incidents where in a bid to compete, people have even lost their lives.

It’s important to not let social media consume you. Not every trend or challenge is worth your attention. Watch it as entertainment if you really want to but avoid the urge to participate especially if they are dangerous.

Develop self worth. Remember that you are valuable, every person on this earth is precious. No other person especially on strangers on the internet need to validate you.

Stay Aware, Stay Safe

Please pay attention, this is important.  

Filing police complaints is CRITICAL. Do not share intimate pictures/videos that can lead to such circumstances

Social media doesn’t show real battles people are fighting.

Think before you type because words have impact.

Please pay attention. Majority offenders in crimes against children in India are known to the victims. It’s someone in their circle of trust- relative, neighbor, teacher or so.

The post Overview Of What We Do #AAH appeared first on Akancha Srivastava Foundation.

Akancha Srivastava, Founder of ‘Akancha Against Harassment’ conducted a workshop with the Anantnag Police Force on April 7th. Anantnag is the third-largest city in Kashmir and has fearlessly fought times of turbulence.

However, the fight today is not fought just offline but also online. The workshop gave the police force insight into the world of cybercrime and how to fight it together with hope, empathy, awareness and action steps.

Together, we hope to fight cyber crimes and make cyberspace safe for all – irrespective of their gender, race, religion or where they live.

Workshop on empathy building & #cybersafety for @AnantnagPolice
An incredibly important topic in today’s tech enabled world especially amongst the youth.
Thank you @hussain_imtiyaz Sir @JmuKmrPolice
We look forward to conducting many more of these in #Kashmir Jai Hind. pic.twitter.com/wrz1hmf29p
