About Project Avaaj

Project Avaaj is a bold, community-driven initiative raising awareness around sexual abuse in the Punjabi and Sikh community. Through education and an online resource hub, we help individuals recognize harm, challenge silence, and connect with trusted professional support — while driving change through workshops, outreach, and community-led initiatives.

Why we're concerned
"Many survivors lose their intuitive sense of what feels right or wrong—not because the intuition disappeared, but because the abuse, the gaslighting, and the cultural silencing trained them to override it."
