Nightingale Foundation India is a non-profit organization for public health and nurses’ welfare. The major purpose of this foundation is to trace the dimensions of social and economical expansion of nurses in India and abroad. As we consider, public health is one of the key components which drive the development of the country; it is too crucial to ignore. Nurses are providing great services to the society through health assessment, high-quality care, and other helps to the people. But, despite their selfless services, they are not treated very well by the society and the top administration in their profession itself.
The ‘objective’ of this foundation is to have a broad perspective of nurses’ problems and to enhance the responsiveness to their troubles in their own field. These days, they are facing much harassment and exploitation from various authorities and, insults and problems from the society around them. Workplace harassment includes sexual and psychological violence, and deprivation of liberty. Violence against them is one of the crucial social mechanism by which nurses are forced into a subordinate position and are subjected to exploitation.
