Break the silence," say these men and women who have been fighting some critical issues of the society from child labour to child trafficking and spread of AIDS to sexual abuse for years now. "We need to break the silence on all gruesome issues in society and create a safe environment," says Timothy Gaikwad, officiating director of Inter-Mission Cares and Rehabilitation Society (IMCARES).

Gaikwad has directed 51 docu-dramas and the recent one, Ashu, talks of the story of a boy who finds acceptance in the hijra (eunuch) community after being sexullay abused by a relative since childhood. Gaikwad feels such issues have become rampant.
