Prevention and protection of youths, children and women from human
trafficking 1257 profited from these programs: Vimukti Pothnal
After drugs and arms, human trafficking is
the third largest profitable industry in the world, and young girls from
the district of Raichur happen to be the worst victims. Human
trafficking, particularly that of underage adolescent girls shipped out
work as domestic helps is big cities has been decades-old phenomenon
that has not been addressed adequately. But recent reports indicate that
a second, more heinous level of exploitation is being perpetuated. Many
of the trafficked girls, according to reports, are impregnated and made
to bear children so that babies/children could be sold off. Lack of
basic education, traditional beliefs/practices and the girls having no
say in the matter because their socio- cultural up bring contribute to
this state of affairs. The project focuses on prevention and protection
of children from exploitation providing holistic education and raising
community awareness.
This project has addressed the root causes of poverty leading to
trafficking and abuse of these hapless children youth and Women. The
project seeks to ensure “education” from a holistic perspective to bring
1257 vulnerable adolescents out of this complicated web of poverty and
misery to transform their lives with hope for a decent and dignified
future.
