Social evils like dowry deaths and suicides are on the rise, leaving many hapless women and children in the grip of a cruel fate. Many of them are also affected badly due to growing economic and social woes and increasing gender inequality. As a result, in July 1999, Gems Foundation has established a home at Parassala, near Trivandrum in Kerala State, for destitue / orphaned girls and deserted / battered women and widows, in an effort to rehabilitate them socio-economically.
