About

These few cyber crimes are top of list & most common. Yet, we don't spot them early. The gap is only about being educated on it. If we learn to be aware & stay alert, we will not engage with perpetrators. We will also share our private information more responsibly. Please do not indulge in such behavior either. Cyber bullying can for example, have very serious impact. Children commit suicide when bullied severely. Sharing porn*graphy especially where children are involved, is a serious crime. Various acid attacks are triggered by stalking online. We need to be wise about sharing our life patterns online. ABOUT 'AKANCHA AGAINST HARASSMENT' 'Akancha Against Harassment' is India's largest social impact initiative against cyber harassment. It was founded by Miss Akancha Srivastava in February 2017. Its a not for profit Section 8 organisation. Our Honorary advisory board members have illustrious company of: Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Founder- Paytm), IG Navniet Sekera (Uttar Pradesh), IG Roopa Moudgil (Karnataka) & IG Krishna Prakash (Maharashtra), Ritesh Malik (Founder- Innov8), Princess Diya (MP- Rajsamand). We are glad to have their support for this important cause. The initiative aims at Education, Empowerment & Bridging of general population with the authorities. To create educational awareness about cyber safety, the Foundation conducts workshops across the country in schools, colleges, tech universities, IITs, IIMs, teachers trainings, parents and more. Objective of these workshops is to educate mindful use of technology. Its a preemptive measure of making sure the probabilities of crime are reduced. It is also an effort to inspire everyone to give back to the country with their own skills. The initiative has appointed its ambassadors & champions across the country to take forward this education at schools, colleges. If you want to invite us to your school, college, community or if you would like to work with us, please send us an email at : HelloAkancha@gmail.com The initiative has a panel of lawyers, legal experts & members of other NGOs that empower with law & processes. One of the big gaps in India is that often we are not aware of our rights. We aim to help with information that can empower you in any situation of cyber safety. Bridging is the most unique attribute of the initiative. We have a host of senior police officers from across the country supporting us in content & awareness drive. We are also honoured to have IG Navniet Sekera (Uttar Pradesh), IG Roopa Moudgil (Karnataka) & IG Krishna Prakash (Maharashtra) on our advisory board. This unique strength helps us address any victim complaints that come to us as well as inform people about various measures of law enforcement across the country.
