Weekly meetings are the best place for guidance and support.
  • Encouraging discussions about steps that can be taken to increase the chances of happiness in marriage both before and after marriage. Conducting press conferences, seminars, TV debates, to encourage discussions, so that better policies can be drafted by better-informed Govt. agencies. This will enhance the stability of marriage and reduce its adverse impact on society whent it breaks. 
  • Protecting basic human rights of both men and women without fear or bias.
  • Promoting debate on whether after 5 years of separation in case of a wife is seeking divorce, and 7 years of seperation in case of a husband seeking divorce, should the divorce law in India be made more conducive to divorce and a little easier.
  • Securing old persons rights in disputes and ensuring support for them in the long run. 
  • Helping govt. agencies by offering suggestions about existing and new gender laws still in the proposal stage. Suggesting ways to the govt. to reduce misuse of women-specific laws like the dowry law.
  • Motivating volunteers. Volunteers provide suggestions only based on their experience, these volunteers do not have any professional degree for counselling and they are purely volunteers and spend their time purely to help the distressed families. They are not compensated for their time in any form.
  • GHRS is also associated with various activities concerning citizens in general, covering various issues ranging from giving suggestions on transparency with regard to the Right to Information (RTI) Act, Criminal Procedure Amendments, Judicial Accountability, Electoral Reforms etc. including oral evidences before various parliamentary committees especially constituted for such occasions.
  • No less than the US President Barack Obama has this to tell us: One-third children in America are now living in a fatherless society. Such children are 5 times more likelyto commit suicide, 32 times more likely to run away from home, 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders, 14 times more likely to commit rape, 9 times mor likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated instution, 20 times more likely to end up in prison, 3 million such teenage girls have sexually transmitted diseases, at least 1 out of 4 teenagers between 14 years to 19 years. If you do not want Indian children to come to similar harm, support us. Volunteer with us. Help us create awareness by harnessing the media and mobilizing the masses, with your time and effort helping the cause also.
