HOW AURA CLARION WORKS
From a concern to a responsible pathway forward.
When someone approaches us, the first step is to listen. We then help the person understand the nature of the concern, identify appropriate options and, where necessary, connect them with qualified professionals or competent authorities.
02
Understand
Provide clear awareness information and help identify what kind of support or referral may be appropriate.
03
Connect
Where specialised intervention is required, help identify lawful referral pathways and qualified services.
04
Strengthen
Encourage education, skills, resilience, dignity and practical next steps wherever possible.
Important: AURA CLARION provides charitable awareness, support and referral within its lawful role. It does not exercise police, judicial, prosecutorial or statutory powers.

Men's safety and wellbeing deserve evidence, not assumptions.
AURA CLARION does not use unsupported slogans such as “one man is harassed every minute in India.” We could not verify a reliable national dataset supporting that claim. Instead, we present research and documented reports with their limitations clearly stated.
51%
Spousal violence — Haryana study
A community study of 1,000 married men in rural Haryana reported that 51.5% had experienced violence by a spouse at least once in their lifetime; 10.5% reported such violence in the previous 12 months. This was a regional study, not a national prevalence estimate.
Read the study →554
Documented 2026 cases
Ekam Nyaay Foundation reported documenting 554 husband murder and suicide cases across India during January–June 2026, based on media reports. It is an NGO documentation exercise, not an official government count of domestic violence against men.
See the reported findings →72.8%
Male share of suicides in 2023
NCRB's 2023 suicide data recorded 171,418 suicides in India, with males accounting for 72.8%. This statistic does not establish that harassment or domestic violence caused those deaths; causes must be read separately from the gender total.
View government data →What the evidence tells us: men can experience domestic and gender-based violence, but India does not currently publish a single official national figure for all domestic-violence incidents against men. AURA CLARION therefore distinguishes research findings, media/NGO documentation and official statistics rather than presenting one as another.

“Every person deserves to be heard. Every family deserves dignity. Every child deserves a safe tomorrow.”
AURA CLARION TRUST was born from a simple conviction: social welfare becomes meaningful when compassion is combined with awareness, responsible action and human dignity.
Established on 30 September 2026, AURA CLARION TRUST seeks to contribute to an empowered, resilient and inclusive society. Our work brings together education, awareness, support, capacity-building, family welfare, legal literacy, human-rights awareness, child protection, livelihood and community support.
Supporting men and boys does not mean ignoring women and children; protecting children does not mean excluding families; and advocating for rights must always be accompanied by responsibility. We seek to listen without prejudice, understand before judging, support without discrimination and refer people to appropriate professional or statutory services whenever specialised intervention is required.
Our Trust is at the beginning of its journey. What makes it meaningful is not simply the size of an organisation, but the number of people who discover that someone is willing to listen, someone cares, and someone will help them find a lawful path forward.
We listen. We care. We support.
Vice Chairperson
Patan Imran Khan
“A stronger society is built when people are given not only assistance, but also knowledge, confidence and an opportunity to rebuild.”
AURA CLARION TRUST begins its journey at a time when individuals and families increasingly need reliable information, compassionate support and meaningful access to opportunities.
Our purpose is not simply to provide temporary assistance. We aspire to help people understand their circumstances, identify appropriate solutions and regain the confidence to move forward.
We want AURA CLARION to be a place where a person can approach without fear of being judged — whether the concern involves education, employment, family difficulties, legal awareness, social vulnerability, child protection, livelihood or access to support.
We believe that awareness of rights must go together with awareness of duties. Legal information should encourage lawful remedies rather than confrontation, while social support should strengthen families and communities.
We hope to build partnerships with educators, professionals, volunteers, institutions and communities so that good intentions can become meaningful social impact.
General Secretary
Shaik Mahammed
“Good intentions need good systems. Sustainable social service requires transparency, accountability and consistent action.”
The incorporation of AURA CLARION TRUST on 30 September 2026 marks the beginning of an important institutional journey.
Our responsibility is to convert the Trust's objectives into programmes that are organised, accessible, transparent and meaningful to the people we serve.
AURA CLARION brings together education and skills, livelihood and community development, health and rehabilitation, human-rights awareness, legal literacy, family welfare, child protection, humanitarian assistance and support for vulnerable individuals.
Where a matter requires the authority of police, courts, statutory bodies, qualified medical professionals, counsellors or legal practitioners, our role is to facilitate awareness and appropriate referral rather than claim powers that belong to those institutions.
We want AURA CLARION to be a developing platform for knowledge, support, participation and community service.
EDUCATION • OPPORTUNITY • RESILIENCE
Change begins when people can see a pathway forward.
We aim to make information understandable, support accessible and referrals practical — while working within the boundaries of law and professional competence.

Why people may find AURA CLARION useful.
One place, many pathways
People often face overlapping difficulties: education and employment, family stress, legal uncertainty, health concerns, child protection or social vulnerability. Our website brings together awareness resources and referral pathways in one place.
Rights with responsibility
We believe that knowing a right also means understanding the lawful process, evidence, duties and limits surrounding it. Our information is designed to encourage informed, responsible action rather than confrontation.

LISTENUnderstand the person's concern with dignity.
CONNECTIdentify practical and lawful support pathways.

AURA IN ACTION
