About us
Dhagagia Social Welfare Society (DSWS) fights for Women and Children’s rights. In 1994, in response to the violation of the rights of women and children in W.B., seven professional social workers created DSWS with aim of promoting social justice, equity and harmony. Working in North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas Districts, DSWS promotes women’s economic empowerment and children’s rights through interventions to prevent the trafficking of children for domestic work. Activities include the promotion of education, strengthening community-based protection and anti-trafficking systems in source areas, the apprehension of traffickers, and repatriation and rehabilitation of CDWs through education and skills development.
