From November 25 to December 10, 2025, the ISKCON Vaishnavi Ministry held its annual “Safe Families, Strong Communities” campaign. We now reflect on the activities undertaken, the support received, and the spirit of compassion and unity that emerged throughout this period.
During these campaigns, we regularly hear from individuals, particularly Vaishnavis, who find comfort, encouragement, or the confidence to speak about challenges within their homes or communities. Many expressed their appreciation for the guidance shared through our YouTube channel, and this year was no exception. We are deeply grateful for every message received and for those who courageously shared their experiences related to digital or other forms of harm. Your voices remind us why this service is so vital.
This initiative seeks to raise awareness about behaviors and conditions that undermine family well-being and community harmony. While anyone may experience hardship or harm, evidence shows that women and girls are often affected at higher rates. Our vision is universal: homes rooted in respect, care, and spiritual consciousness, where every family member feels safe and valued.
Vaishnavis from around the world joined and supported the campaign in a variety of meaningful ways, including hosting special awareness programs, offering dedicated classes and discussions, sharing important information within their communities, creating displays, and amplifying the message through social media and personal outreach. Their collective efforts significantly broadened the reach and impact of this initiative.
