Vision
Create a world where all people have healthier and safer relationships with themselves and with each other.
Mission
Provide an intersectional and holistic solution for abuse
iDare is India’s first holistic and intersectional mobile application that helps people recognize, prevent, cope with, and fight against abuse. It helps cope with the trauma we survive, heal from our pains, unlearn unhealthy patterns, and learn to replace them with healthier ones. iDare prioritizes the values of kindness, empathy, and collectivity to build a safe and secure space where wellness thrives.
iDare begins as DARE (Defense Against Rape and Eve-Teasing) in 2015.
DARE continues to create safe-spaces and provide self-defense training to 9,00,000 girls and women across India.
DARE’s post-workshop counseling sessions stun us with many cases of sexual violence and some important insights.
DARE’s crucial experiences and bottlenecks give birth to iDare.

Felt really better, never ever experienced calling a stranger at 9.30 in the night and talking about myself:)
Such an immense self learning self healing experience. I cannot thank enough MH Advisor without whom I would be in shambles today
We have all met a legal professional, but a legal professional with a human approach/empathy is very different. I felt comfortable in discussing an all round approach with Legal Advisor. She listened to my issue completely, and offered constructive advice, confidence and courage. We discussed my apprehensions, scenerios, and I can tell you It was a very fruitful session in the end. I know I can recommend her sessions without a thought. Also, a BIG THANK YOU to IDare for their approach and help!
The resources and exercises that is suggested by my therapist has always been so helpful. It feels really good and motivated when small little wins are celebrated together and every small step taken is a progress. ♥️
If you are anything like me, you would be happy to know that you have a place where you can be heard. These bottled emotions need a place and a stage to be set free. In a society which is fast paced, very quick to clasify into a right or a wrong, empathy takes a backseat. I came to IDare as two aspects stood out for me. A session's affordability and the empathy of a therapist. I value iDare Counselor's experience and working with her to find a formula, a door to enhance progress.
They really gave me hope and made me feel like it’s okay to make mistakes and I can overcome that and become a better person just by working on myself. Thank you so much MH advisor :)
iDare Counselor ensures she listens to everything you have to say, has a solid plan for what must be achieved, makes sure it alings with what the client wants out of therapy
I feel soo much better as I know whatever I’m venting is making sense to her and she can judge it and make sense of it the best.
MH Advisor is a very understanding and listening person…I am able to put out my thoughts and feelings without being judged for and in return I receive so so much insight on myself
